Pride, LGBTQ+ and the National Trust

In recent years, the National Trust has had an increasing presence at Pride marches. Staff, volunteers and supporters have attended large-scale Pride events like London, Birmingham and Pride Cymru, as well as smaller ones like Coventry, and Foyle.

Due to the pandemic, many of these events were sadly cancelled in 2020 but we still celebrated from our homes, showing support and solidarity for the LGBTQ+ community through our website and social channels.

This year, many Pride events have been postponed until September instead of happening in June during Pride month. But we’ll still be recognising Pride month by inviting the teams at our places to wear their rainbow colours. We’ve also been working with our curators and LGBTQ+ network to identify a wealth of stories we will be sharing on social media using #NTPride. Please join us if you can.

The National Trust is committed to creating a safe and inclusive place to work. We work with our LGBTQ+ Network to champion an inclusive workplace, where we embrace how our differences, and similarities, make us stronger.
