Allison Homes supports Pride events in Devon with £500 donation

In honour of Pride Month (June), regional housebuilder Allison Homes donated £500 to Devon-based charity Sunrise Diversity for the third year in a row, helping them to host both Bideford Pride and Barnstaple Diversity Festival and Pride.

Sunrise Diversity celebrates diversity, promotes equality and social inclusion, and challenges discrimination in North Devon, to ensure individuals from all backgrounds are safe, respected and valued.

This year, the charity hosted Bideford Pride on Saturday 31st May and Barnstaple Diversity Festival and Pride on Saturday 21st June. Across both events, local people were able to come together and support the LGBTQIA+ community.

Allison Homes’ £500 donation helped with the running of both events and comes as the housebuilder’s South West region is providing new homes across the county. This is the third donation the developer has made to the charity, taking Allison Homes’ total contribution amount to £1,500.

Ana Lodge, CEO of Sunrise Diversity, said: “Support from our community is so important to ensure these events can continue, celebrating inclusivity and diversity in the local area. We really want to make sure everyone can be safely and genuinely, authentically themselves in every area of life – including work, day-to-day life, family, and more. Having the support of organisations like Allison Homes is absolutely key to making that happen.”

Glyn Mabey, Managing Director at Allison Homes South West, said: “We take great pride in supporting Pride Month at Allison Homes, and remain committed to fostering an inclusive culture where our employees can thrive and express themselves.

“We are proud to have contributed £500 to Bideford Pride and Barnstaple Diversity Festival and Pride. Both events provided people with a fantastic opportunity to come together and celebrate their community, and we are honoured to have played a part.”
