Stagecoach West supports Swindon Pride

Stagecoach West is showing its support for the LGBTQ+ community as one of the sponsors at this year’s Pride event in Swindon on August 12.

Showcased at the event will be the bus operator’s Pride Bus, newly wrapped in the colours of the Progress Flag, a development of the rainbow flag to also represent the trans, non-binary and intersex communities and to show support for marginalised LGBTQ+ communities of colour.

The Stagecoach West Pride Bus will be parked at Regent Circus, one of the stops on the Pride march route.

Rachel Geliamassi, managing director, Stagecoach West, said: “We’re delighted to be a sponsor at this year’s Swindon Pride, it’s such a fun and vibrant event and I hope it’s wonderful  for all involved.  As an inclusive company it’s important that we show our support of the LGBTQ+ community and let everyone know that they are welcome and valued, both within our teams and on board our services.

“Our employee-led networks have been incredibly successful, giving members the freedom to push boundaries, encourage change and support colleagues – all the things that make Stagecoach such a great place to work.”
