The aim of the network is to continue to raise the profile of equality, diversity and inclusion
Our goals are to promote the acceptance and wellbeing of LGBTQ+ employees and assist in framing company policy. We intend to provide a support and social network by hosting events across the country and in conjunction with other networks. We want to help people to be themselves at work.

We're proud to take part in key events
Since the network launch in the summer of 2016, the network has taken part in many events including London and Birmingham Pride marches, hosting industry-wide seminars around mental health in the LGBTQPlus community and attended LGBTQPlus careers fairs.
