Sheffield Hallam will have stalls at both Pinknic and Pride Sheffield this year, two popular local Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans (LGBT+) events. Members of the LGBT+ staff network SIGNAL, the Equality and Diversity team and the Recruitment team will be present to support the two days, and we’re looking for some volunteers from our staff population to join them on the day.
Are you passionate about achieving an inclusive and diverse society and would like to show your support?
Pinknic – Saturday 16 July, 11am-7pm at the Peace Gardens
Sheffield’s biggest free LGBT+ event with entertainment, music, food, stalls and family activities throughout the day.

Pride Sheffield is an annual free festival bringing together the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Non-binary community and their friends, families and allies.
