SECAmb staff join thousands at Pride

03 September 2012

South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SECAmb) celebrated this weekend by once again joining thousands attending Pride Brighton & Hove on Saturday (1 September).

More than 60 staff walked with the Trust’s float in the parade in what was the sixth consecutive year SECAmb as a trust has attended Pride. In 2008 SECAmb became just the second ambulance trust in the country to join Stonewall’s equality programme.

SECAmb works in partnership with Stonewall, and other organisations to promote gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender equality in the workplace and to ensure that the Trust is a workplace of choice where all employees can be themselves at work.

Geraint Davies, Director of Commercial Services and Chair of Pride in SECAmb said: “I am immensely proud of the staff that took part in this year's parade and the fantastic response we received from the crowds lining the streets. This is an excellent opportunity for SECAmb to show how we value diversity by supporting our staff and the public we are proud to serve.”
