THROUGHOUT JUNE WE’RE PROMOTING SELF-AFFIRMATION AND EQUALITY AMONG THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY…

Supporting causes close to our team’s hearts and demonstrating our ‘Respectful’ value is very much part of our culture at Yorkshire Garden Centres so we’re celebrating the diversity in our team with our very own Pride month.

We’re flying the rainbow flag at the entrance to our centres, transforming our team spaces into colourful zones, and creating amazing displays in store to help raise awareness, whilst supporting the charity ‘Out Together’. We have donated from our Kindness Pot to support the great work they do.

Our pride month also includes educating and informing our 600 strong workforce across our six centres. We’re sharing personal people stories told by our team in the LGBTQ+ community as well as the history of Pride and a calendar of Pride events across Yorkshire. 

Neil Barwise-Carr, head of people and culture for the group says “We are an inclusive business passionate about making YGC a place where all LGBTQ+ people feel they belong. Our Pride month is an opportunity to educate, support and celebrate our diverse community.” 

This celebratory month concludes with a colourful Pride Day at Yorkshire Garden Centre on 28th June when our team will be wearing their brightest clothes to unite, support and celebrate diversity.
