At the moment, we are having a conversation about where does Greene King show up with pride in the summer. No, we're not rainbow washing here.

Future Aspirations
Our mission is to enhance inclusivity in pubs by increasing the number of pride events and creating safe spaces for both our teams and customers. We are dedicated to providing pubs with the necessary tools to achieve this goal. Additionally, we aspire to raise a minimum of £50,000 for Switchboard in celebration of their 50 year anniversary.
Looking ahead, we are committed to building on our current strengths by supporting our partnership with Switchboard, emphasising the importance of allyship and fostering everyday inclusion. Our future plans include developing and expanding our Pride Toolkit to enable pubs to actively participate in local pride events.
