Andrew Jurd | Chair of Pride at NEXT
Here are the key ambitions for myself and the committee for the next 12 months:
Hearing from you - This year’s key ambition is to involve each and everyone of you with everything we do. So please let us hear your voice, tell us what you want from your community.
LGBT+ History month - raising awareness of the impact the Pride Community space
has had over the last 6 years and what the people involved over the last 6 years are most proud of.
Pride Month - Working on better representation across the brand for the month of June, including Product, Marketing and events.
Charity Partner - Continuing our relationship with the Terrence Higgins Trust, supporting their aim of now new HIV cases by 2030.
We had a fantastic turn out for Manchester Pride 2024 and all celebrated in style. With our matching t shirts, rainbow flags, fans and sparkle, we took to the streets and showed everyone what it means to be part of Pride, here at NEXT.
We want to thank all of you who joined us and made the day a memorable one!
