We're Just Getting Started!
As we hit our 7th anniversary, we’re looking ahead with fresh energy. Get ready for new partnerships, new exciting products a new Pride parade location!
You told us what matters and we listened. For LGBT History Month, we’re putting your voice front and centre. The topics you’ve shared aren't just shaping our content, they help us build a more inclusive space for our community.
This month we'll discuss the importance of allyship, a focus on LGBT young people support, support for parents of LGBT young people and HIV Testing Week.

Together With Just Like Us
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. Stay tuned to see how our partnership evolves!
Just Like Us have created a guide for parents and carers to help you become a better ally. It answers the most common questions parents ask about LGBT+ topics and we're sharing it with you!
"Whether or not your child is LGBT+, or they don’t know yet, this guide is for everyone. Together, we can show the next generation that there is no shame in being LGBT+. Every parent has an important role to play." Laura Mackay, CEO at Just Like Us
This National HIV Testing Week, we want the Pride at NEXT community to come together and support THT with their mission of zero new transmissions by 2030.
We're encouraging a community where you all feel empowered to look after your wellbeing without stigma or barriers.
Testing is free and confidential and can now be done from the comfort of home with a simple finger-prick kit. Just knowing your status is the best way to look after yourself and the people you love.

Support the LGBTQ+ Community
Being an ally is a continuous journey of learning and supporting Pride at NEXT. It is about using your voice and influence to ensure that everyone feels respected and safe to be their authentic selves at work.
What is an ally?
An ally is someone who does not necessarily identify as LGBTQ+ but supports the community through their support and action.
We've pulled together some ways you can be an ally to your colleagues at NEXT. Just scroll through the images above to find out more.
Remember!
Get involved, educate yourself, speak up and make space.
