Our LGBTQ+ Network

By Gemma Bellamy 29th May 2025

Our LGBTQ+ Network - Proudly@ - is run by, and exclusively for, colleagues who identify as LGBTQ+ and their allies.

Introducing Proudly@

Proudly@ aims to:

  • provide visibility for our LGBTQ+ colleagues and their allies across the business
  • create a community and support/social network
  • educate colleagues and share experiences to create an inclusive working environment
  • recognise and celebrate LGBTQ+ events and dates in the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) calendar.

 

How Proudly@ has been fostering inclusivity at OneFamily

During LGBTQ+ History Month, a member of Proudly@ wrote a series of articles on LGBTQ+ history to share with colleagues.

In August 2024, the Network hosted a lunch for colleagues to celebrate the upcoming Brighton & Hove Pride in 2024. OneFamily have been proud supporters of Pride since 2016. A flagship event in the Brighton calendar each year, it brings together the whole community in a celebration of love, diversity, acceptance and joy.

Proudly@ is planning more events to take place in 2025, including coming up with fun ideas to celebrate and educate colleagues about Pride in July/August 2025.

At OneFamily we're invested in creating an inclusive culture, where everyone feels like they belong.
