03 Jun Hammersmith BID Pride Network – Launch
In May 2024, we celebrated the launch of Hammersmith BID’s Pride Network. Organisations were invited to share what they are already doing to support LGBTQIA+ employees; and discuss what they would like to see from the network moving forward.
Thank you to Disney, Dassault Systèmes, Hammersmith & Fulham Council, Livat, Riverside Studios, West London Queer Project (WLQP), and Kindred for sharing information about the inclusive initiatives they’re running at their companies.
We also used the roundtable and networking as an opportunity to look ahead to Pride Month in June, providing a platform for local organisations to share upcoming events.
