With the month of June quickly approaching, businesses up and down the UK are already planning on how they can best show their recognition and support for Pride Month. 

As a business that cares about its wider community and about celebrating people for who they are, this time of year represents a powerful opportunity to signal your support for, and commitment to, the LGBT community. 

But how might you go about doing that? Below, we have set out some ideas for how your business might look to mark Pride Month in colourful style. 

Create a campaign for support

Use the power of social media to get your message out there! Create campaigns that highlight the importance of LGBT rights, and encourage others to join in with the celebration. 

You can share stories, photos, videos, and more that show your commitment to making a difference in the fight for equality.

Create rainbow confetti

One of the easiest and most fun ways to celebrate Pride Month is to create rainbow confetti with coloured shredded paper. You might set up booths at local community events, or even give out free bags of confetti with your logo on them. It’s a great way to spread joy and show your support for the LGBT community. 

Want to take things a step further? Then why not invest in our limited-edition Pride Mix shredded paper for the main event?

Sponsor a local event

Find and sponsor a local LGBT event or organisation. Whether it’s a march, fundraiser, or educational programme, your support can make a big impact. Plus, it’s an excellent way to get your brand out there and shows that you are committed to making a difference in the LGBT community – one that benefits LGBT people’s actual lives. 

Promote LGBT visibility

If you have employees who identify as part of the LGBT community, you might use this time to celebrate their stories and signal that your organisation values creating a culture of openness and acceptance. You can also help promote LGBT visibility by featuring diverse images on your business’s marketing materials, website, and social media channels.

Create collaborative merchandise

Why not create unique merchandise with local artists or organisations that specialise in LGBT-related items? Again, this can be a highly visible way for your brand to show its support for the LGBT community, but can also serve as a way of directly helping LGBT people with the challenges they face. 

Final thoughts

By embracing these ideas, your business can show the LGBT community that you care deeply about their rights and have invested in making a difference to their lives. 

Celebrating Pride Month is about more than just putting up decorations and having a party – it’s about showing your support in meaningful ways. Hopefully, our own coloured shredded paper here at Shredded-Paper.co.uk will be able to play a role in making that possible for your brand!
