³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Pride Network

For LGBTQ+ staff, postgraduate students and their allies at ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ.

The Pride Network was established in 2006 (originally named ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ 600) to support lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender staff at the university. The group’s original name reflects the estimation that around 10% of the UK’s population is LGBT – in 2006 this equalled 600 of ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ's 6,000 staff. The Pride Network today remains an active staff network, welcoming LGBTQ+ staff and postgraduate students and straight allies.
