If you're heading to Leeds Pride this year, we'll see you there!
Yorkshire Housing is an official sponsor of Leeds Pride 2026 and we can't wait to be part of it. Leeds Pride is marking its 20th anniversary this year, making it one of the UK's biggest ever celebrations for LGBTQ+ communities, and we're so excited to be involved.
We'll be marching through Leeds city centre in the parade on Sunday 19th July and welcoming everyone to our market stall - proud to stand alongside our LGBTQ+ colleagues and customers.
Our sponsorship reflects our commitment to making sure everyone has a safe space to be themselves, today and every day. It builds on our HouseProud Pledge Pioneer status, earned last year, and is another step forward in making our communities more inclusive and championing equality for everyone.
Reyt Proud is our friendly and inclusive group of LGBTQ+ customers, coming together to build a safe and welcoming space within our communities - a place where everyone can be seen, heard and valued, offering mutual support and speaking up together to promote equality and inclusion.
Liam Owenson's Chair of the group and says:
"Sponsoring Leeds Pride means more than just taking part in the parade. It's a reflection of Yorkshire Housing's deep commitment to inclusivity. By actively participating in Pride, earning our HouseProud Pledge Pioneer status, and having our exec team and board get involved, we show our customers and colleagues that Yorkshire Housing is a place where everyone belongs, every day.
“Pride gives us the chance to stand alongside LGBTQ+ communities, support people to be themselves, and reinforce the values of equality and respect that are at the heart of everything we do."
We'll be sharing more details closer to the date - so put Sunday 19th July in your diary and keep an eye on our socials. Hope to see you there!
