Join us on 30 August to celebrate Wear it Purple Day and show your support for LGBTQIA+ youth in our community. Originally founded by students in response to global stories young people experiencing bullying and harassment, Wear it Purple Day has become an international movement of love, support and allyship.

This year, the Pride Network and Diversity and Inclusion Team invite speakers from University’s LGBTQIA+ community to share how they use their passions to ally the wider LGBTQIA+ community and build pride. You will leave this session inspired by the joy that supporting community brings.
