The busy summer of celebrating UNISON's diversity has officially kicked off with colourful participation at Oxford and Canterbury Prides in the last couple of weeks.
The South East Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Group has

On Satuday 4th June UNISON Oxfordshire Health branch led the organisation and sponsorship of Oxford Pride spreading our message of proud to be in UNISON at the event attended by over 5000 people. Members engaged with revelers giving out employments advice, recruiting new members and explaining the pivitol role UNISON campaigning plays in fighting for the rights of LGBT people.
