Thousands turn out for Birmingham Pride Festival
Thousands of people are expected to attend one of the largest celebrations of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community in the country.
Paramedics have "Pride" in Birmingham
Paramedics from Birmingham will be part of the Birmingham Pride parade through the city centre, for the very first time.
Members of the Trust’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBT) working group will be marching in the parade, to support the region’s LGBT communities.
John Renshaw, a Birmingham-based Paramedic Clinical Team Mentor said: “As part of the Trust’s community engagement, we felt passionately that Birmingham Pride, one of the biggest gay pride events in Britain, was something we needed to get involved in.
Ten members of staff from across the region and from different roles will be wearing pink West Midlands Ambulance Service t-shirts and flying a rainbow flag during the pride march.
