Our Pride tour continues as we head to the Scottish capital, Edinburgh! We’re visiting popular locations across the UK and Ireland to celebrate with as many colleagues as possible.
For this stop, we are taking Hamish back to their Scottish roots. We will also be joined by Gaydio, the UK’s LGBTQ+ radio station, who will be capturing the atmosphere throughout the day.
Let’s make this our biggest year yet. We invite you to stand proud with us!

This month on 31st March, it's Transgender Day of Visibility.
Did you know we have a dedicated Transgender space with resources, a place for visibility, supporting charities and more?
Everyone is at their best when they are being themselves and this day is an opportunity to amplify the voices of our transgender and non-binary colleagues. We will continue building a culture where everyone can thrive.
We're happy to partner with Just Like Us, the LGBT+ young people’s charity in the UK and help with their mission to empower young people to champion LGBT+ equality. Together, we’re working to ensure every LGBT+ young person at NEXT and beyond can feel celebrated and supported. Click here to find out more
