We’re thrilled to be supporting Medway Pride 2024 

We are delighted to be celebrating LGBTQIA+ identity by proudly sponsoring Medway Pride throughout the day on Saturday 17 August.  

We’ll be joining the Pride parade along Rochester High Street starting at 10:45am, and will continue the celebration at Rochester Castle Gardens, where the main event will take place until 8pm. Here, you’ll find the sponsor stands amongst other community stalls, colourful performances, delicious food, and live music from local, nationally and internationally recognised acts, including X Factor’s Louisa Johnson.   

Medway Pride CIC is a not-for-profit community organisation which aims to promote equality and diversity across all communities of Medway for the public benefit and in particular the elimination of discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity, especially for those living in Medway and the surrounding areas. 

Kimberley Foulkes, Audit Manager and joint lead for our Sustainable Development Goal ‘Reduced inequalities’, commented: “We are so excited and honoured to be supporting and attending Medway Pride again this year, celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community, diversity and inclusion. At Kreston Reeves, we want everyone in the community, including all our people to be able to celebrate their identity openly and proudly. I can’t wait to be a part of the parade and the whole day.”  

Medway Pride 2024 is a free to access community event, and more information, including links to donations, is available here. We’d love to see you there! 

We, as a firm, hold ourselves accountable against four of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals – ‘Good health and wellbeing’, ‘Quality education’, ‘Climate action’, and ‘Reduced inequalities’. Therefore, we are acting to affirm equity, diversity and inclusion not just at Kreston Reeves, but also in our local communities; as well as raise awareness through education about the issues LGBTQIA+, BAME, women and neurodiverse people face.
