We organise through an elected regional committee who meet four times a year, with an additional AGM and separate Policy Days and Training & Organising Days, to plan our campaigns.

Looking for LGBT+ resources for your branch? We’ve collated them into one place as part of our 2024 Year of LGBT+ Workers campaign – you can view this here.
Our regional co-chairs are Anu Prashar and Terry Eastham.
We are very high profile at many Pride events in London, taking our messages of equality and standing up for public services to the wider LGBT+ community. We will be attending the following Pride events, and encourage all members/ activists / branches to help out and take part.
Croydon Pride – Saturday 19 July 2025
Croydon Pride will be held on 20 July, where the region is hoping to have a stall. We are looking for volunteers to help run the stall, and increase UNISON’s visibility in the local area, and promote the work we are doing for LGBT+ workers. We are currently awaiting confirmation of our stall, and we will update all volunteers in due course.
Trans Pride – Saturday 26 July 2025
As you’ll be aware, the Trans Equality campaign is a national priority and UNISON’s presence at this pride is vital to send a clear message of solidarity to the trans community, and show that UNISON stands against transphobia and related discrimination in all forms. The more members/activists/branches in attendance, the louder the message we send to support the Trans community.
Black Pride – TBC
UK Black Pride brings the community together for a party and protest at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, in Stratford. It is now officially the world’s largest celebration for LGBT+ people of African, Caribbean, Latin American and Middle Eastern heritage. UNISON will be holding a stall at this event, and we are looking for volunteers to help run the stall and increase UNISON’s visibility in the Black LGBT+ community.
Any questions, please email Rosie Sammut r.sammut@unison.co.uk
Information about signing up will be shared soon.
