2022 is a special year as it marks the 50th anniversary of the first Pride march in the UK, which took place on 1 July 1972. Pride is a hugely important event for hundreds of thousands of people all around the world – part-celebration, part-protest and, for many, a chance to be visible. As such, it’s an opportunity to reflect on how far we’ve come as a society and acknowledge the work still to be done.
As a charity whose purpose is to make nature, beauty and history accessible for everyone, Pride also helps in our ambition to make sure everyone feels welcome in everything we do.
