Tesco will donate almost £100,000 to three LGBTQ+ charities

Tesco will donate almost £100,000 to three LGBTQ+ charities to celebrate this year’s Pride festival and support the LGBTQ+ community.

The supermarket will also again be the headline sponsor for London and Brighton Pride.

£33,000 will be donated to the following charities:

Switchboard – a helpline service offering support and information to the LGBTQ+ community and beyond.
Terrence Higgins Trust– the UK’s leading HIV and sexual health charity.
Fighting With Pride – supporting the health and wellbeing of LGBT+ Veterans, service personnel and their families – in particular those most impacted by the ban on LGBT+ personnel serving in the Armed Forces prior to January 2000.

The supermarket is a longstanding supporter of Pride and the LGBTQ+ community, and in the last three years has donated almost £600,000 to charities supporting LGBTQ+ people – including Switchboard, Albert Kennedy Trust, Mermaids, Terrence Higgins Trust, Fighting With Pride and Bi Pride UK.
