BIRMINGHAM Pride 2025 took place last weekend, and there was a strong contingent representing south Warwickshire.<\/p>\n
Around 75,000 people took to the streets of Birmingham on 24th and 25th May with a variety of performances taking place. There was also the pride parade which saw thousands of people make their way across the city on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Amongst those at the weekend event were representatives from Aston Martin in Gaydon and Stratford based NFU Mutual.<\/p>\n
Craig Watson, co-chair of the I AM Pride network at Aston Martin said: \u201cIt was incredible to see so many new faces stepping forward as allies. Having colleagues show up, be present, and walk with us means more than they probably realise.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat visible support helps create a culture where people feel seen, valued and accepted\u2013 and that\u2019s exactly what we\u2019re trying to build.\u201d<\/p>\n
Posting on LinkedIn, large loss technical manager at NFU Mutual Becky Evans said: \u201cWhat a privilege again to be part of Birmingham Pride with my wonderful Mutual Pride colleagues. Now more than ever we need to come together to support all of our community.\u201d<\/p>\n
