Pride Month: celebrating love and identity
At Abri, we’re proud to stand with our LGBTQ+ customers, colleagues and communities. Pride isn’t just about celebration - it’s also about visibility, safety, and the right to live as our authentic selves. It’s a chance for all of us to reflect on how we contribute to an inclusive culture where everyone can thrive.
You’re not alone: taking action after a hate crime
No one deserves to be discriminated against for being true to who they are. If you’re the victim of a hate crime, report it to the police immediately, you can also get help and support from the National Stop Hate UK website and 24-hour helpline on 0800 138 1625. You should also let us know so our Community Safety Team can support you, help you to feel safe in your home and raise an anti-social behaviour case to investigate further. We work in partnership with organisations, including the police and local community safety partnerships, to tackle hate crime.
You can get in touch with us by calling on 0300 123 1567, emailing hello@abri.co.uk or LiveChat via My Abri; one of our dedicated officers will give you a call. Unsure if you've been a victim of hate crime? Please head over to this useful page for more info: About Hate Crime - Stop Hate UK
Let’s use Pride Month as a time to reflect, connect, and continue building a culture of inclusion - not just now, but all year round.
