At BAG we are on a Diversity, Equity & Inclusion journey, and we recognise we need to do more to educate ourselves and our member organisations to understand more about the people who work within our network and the communities which we represent.
June is Pride month - a month dedicated to celebrating LGBTQ+ communities all around the world. Pride Month is a vibrant and inclusive celebration that honors the LGBTQ+ community, their history, achievements, and ongoing struggle for equality. This annual event serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of acceptance, diversity, and love. It brings together individuals, organizations, and communities to advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and celebrate the progress made towards a more inclusive society.
With these VLOGs BAG held discussions, around what is pride (as part of the wider inclusion agenda), history of pride, progress to date, global context, what it means to individuals and what thoughts we want to get across and future outlook.

The British Aviation Group is committed to being a diverse and inclusive organisation, which reflects the communities and society in which we serve. As such we have developed an Inclusion Calendar for 2025 where throughout the year, we will highlight selected topics and dates of interest to our members to take them with us on our Inclusion journey, sharing learning and knowledge with our members.
