TransPennine Express is celebrating Pride throughout the summer. Starting with York Pride on Saturday 1st June, colleagues from LNER and TransPennine Express will join together in a show of unity to celebrate the start of Pride Month.
TPE will continue to support other Pride events across the network throughout the summer.
As part of TransPennine Express Week of Inclusion earlier this year, TPE were delighted to announce a partnership with The Proud Trust, an LGBT+ youth charity empowering young people to be proud of who they are.
The Proud Trust delivers youth work and one-to-one support across Greater Manchester. The charity also runs a national training and inclusion programme for schools, Proud Connections Live Chat, and manages Manchester’s LGBT+ Centre, The Proud Place.
Throughout this summer, we are supporting The Proud Trust in their goal to raise £78,000 towards the vital work they do with LGBT+ young people. One hour of support costs £52, so we are helping the charity to raise 1500 hours of support for LGBT+ young people.
With one hour, The Proud Trust can support a young person who needs advice about coming out to their friends, via its digital live chat service, Proud Connections. One hour mentoring can support a young person towards their goals which could include accessing educations or employment, planning for their future or finding community.
