It's Pride Month! It’s the 50th anniversary since the Stonewall Riots in 1969 and we’re still as dedicated as ever to celebrating LGBTQ+ young people and their incredible work.

Diana Award Anti-Bullying Ambassador and Diana Award Holder Leo is sharing his experience as a member of the LGBTQ+ community and why he thinks there is still much to do to tackle homophobia, biphobia and transphobia today.

This month we are thrilled to celebrate new Diana Award Holder Maya, from County Down in Northern Ireland, a tireless campaigner for LGBTQ+ rights within her school and wider community. This Pride Month she is explaining why Pride is important now more than ever and how we can all step up as allies.
