Anna Freud Centre supporting LGBTQI+ youth mental health
Following on from Pride month in June, the Anna Freud Centre will march in the 2022 Pride in London Parade on Saturday 2 July. This will be to celebrate the diversity of our staff, and to show our support for LGBTQI+ youth mental health.
This year, after a two-year pause because of the pandemic, Pride in London commemorates 50 years since the first Pride took place in the UK. The event, which was first held in 1972 with approximately 2,000 participants, has grown significantly. In 2019, over 30,000 people joined the Pride march and 1.5 million people attended the event. The Anna Freud Centre also marched in the Pride in London Parade in 2019.
