The union logo at the top of our website will also be in the colours of the LGBTQ+ pride flag for the whole month.

Union LGBTQ+ Part-Time Officer Hazel Richardson said: "LGBTQ+ History Month is celebrated to raise awareness of LGBTQ+ people. It is a great time to not only focus on how we can do better, but also to celebrate how far we have come in terms of rights, awareness and acceptance.

"We honour those who have fought for LGBTQ+ rights, and we welcome everyone to work with us towards our goal of global equality and acceptance."
