This weekend, IC24 proudly took part in the 2025 Brighton Pride Parade, coming together with colleagues from across the organisation for an unforgettable day. The atmosphere in Brighton was electric, filled with music, colour, and a powerful sense of connection.

From the start, the streets were alive with celebration as people from all walks of life came together to express themselves freely and stand in support of the LGBTQ+ community. The event was a true showcase of the strength found in diversity and the importance of community.

For our team, it was more than just a parade. It was a moment to step away from our usual routines, share laughter, build memories, and enjoy time together in a vibrant and welcoming setting. The experience brought a sense of togetherness that will be remembered by everyone who took part.

Salma Aleem, our Diversity and Inclusion Lead, reflected on the day by saying:

"It was amazing to see such vibrant energy and a real sense of community throughout the day. Brighton Pride is a powerful reminder of why inclusion matters, and it was a real privilege to stand alongside so many others in support of LGBTQ+ rights. It also gave us a great opportunity to proudly reflect our organisation’s commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion."

 

Here is to many more celebrations like this one. United, proud, and full of joy.
