RWP tenant David attended the Pride event in Preston with LAPSS to network with related organisations and support his colleagues as an ally.
Straight ally supporter for LGBTQ+ community
“I am proud to share that I've been a straight ally supporter for the LGBTQ+ community for many years. I have also seen LGBTQ+ Prides as valuable networking opportunities to meet and hopefully later collaborate with related organisations in future events. Over many years I have worked with colleagues who are from the LGBTQ community as well as many close friends too. My friends who are part of the LGBTQ+ community are not different to any other colleague or friend, and I am glad to have them in my life.
Preston Pride with LAPSS
Lancashire Autism Peer & Self Advocacy Service (LAPSS) made its debut at Preston Pride in 2023 and it was so successful that it was only natural that we would attend again in 2024. I was happy to learn that the Pride in Progress Network was going to take part in the Parade, and so I joined in with my colleagues on the day. I helped to hold the "Preston Typhoons" RUFC banner with my colleagues during the Pride event. It was a very enjoyable day and we all look ahead to this year's Pride season,” says David.
