Pride Month 2026: Out Loud, Inside Strong

Category: LGBTQIA+ (Sexual Orientation)

LGBTQIA+

Pride Month is about celebrating diversity and all the different identities of the LGBTQIA+ community.

The Background: It features bold, diagonal stripes running from the top left to the bottom right. The color palette directly mirrors the Progress Pride Flag, showcasing the traditional six-color rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple) alongside the inclusive stripes representing marginalized communities: black and brown for people of color, and light blue, pink, and white for the transgender community.  The Text: Centered prominently across the middle of the image is the word "Sanctuary" in a clean, white sans-serif font. The capital letter "S" has a distinctive stylized design, making it stand out as a brand logo.

But it’s also an opportunity to reflect on the challenges that LGBTQIA+ individuals still face.

For Pride this year, our PRISM employee network is focusing on LGBTQIA+ mental health with the theme Out Loud, Inside Strong.

Together, we’re exploring how and why the community is disproportionately affected and sharing a clear, positive message - that support is available, and things can get better.

As well as hosting Pride events in our offices, homes and services around the country, we’re sharing stories of strength, community and resilience from colleagues across our organisation.

A huge thank you to our PRISM committee members Heather Hammett and Adam Gibson for sharing their own personal experiences in this video.
