Diversity & Inclusion
Our volunteer team is more than amazing – they inspire great ideas, generate needed sponsorship, drive forward our operational plans, capture Pride moments and help make Pride in London a fantastic place to volunteer and work.
We endeavour to attract and recruit a diverse mix of employees and volunteers who are representative of the diversity in our LGBT+ communities which gives us a great opportunity to have access to a broad range of ideas and allows us to deliver an inclusive event that you expect from Pride in London. Therefore, we actively encourage applications from diverse backgrounds, particularly women, people of colour and those from the trans and non-binary communities.
Our Culture
Our volunteers are driven and passionate about what they do. Putting on one of London's largest one-day events requires dedication and perseverance.
Although a lot of our work is completed remotely, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet with your team and others throughout the year to not only plan what's ahead but to socialise too.
We're looking for enthusiastic people to join the organisation so we can provide a platform for every part of London’s LGBTQ+ community.
