Tesco colleagues will attend more than 40 Pride events across the UK this year as the supermarket continues its support for LGBTQ+ communities.

The grocer said colleagues will take part in Pride events across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland throughout 2026.

Tesco will also donate £100,000 to four LGBTQ+ charity partners, with £25,000 each going to Not A Phase, Proud To Be Parents, Rainbow Mind and Just Like Us.

Since 2020, Tesco has donated more than £1m to charity partners supporting LGBTQ+ communities.

The retailer said its Pride activity forms part of its wider commitment to building an inclusive workplace for colleagues and customers, supported by its LGBTQ+ at Tesco Colleague Network.

Tesco said colleagues across the country will take part in local Pride events to celebrate communities and help create spaces where people feel welcome, seen and supported.

LGBTQ+ at Tesco Colleague Network chair Dan Porter said: “Pride really matters to our colleagues, customers and our LGBTQ+ at Tesco network.

“It’s a moment to come together, celebrate our communities and show that everyone is welcome, seen and supported at Tesco.

“I’m incredibly proud that colleagues from across the UK will be taking part in more than 40 Pride events this year, and that we’re continuing to support charities doing vital work for people in the LGBTQ+ community.”

Booker chief executive and executive sponsor of the LGBTQ+ at Tesco Colleague Network Andrew Yaxley added: “At Tesco, we’re committed to supporting LGBTQ+ communities across the UK and creating an inclusive environment for both colleagues and customers.

“From marching at Pride events nationwide to donating more than £1m to LGBTQ+ charity partners, we’re proud to stand together with all the communities we serve.”
