PROUD to be ME: 5 #NewLookers on what makes them unapologetically Proud

To be yourself is to be brave. This Pride season, we’re celebrating the joy of being unapologetically you. ​ ​

We’re proud allies here at New Look and have a two-year and counting partnership with LGBT Foundation – a national charity that delivers advice, support and information services to LGBT communities. ​ ​

Not only does our collaborative partnership raise funds for the charity (our current total sits at an impressive £140k!), but it also supports our own team’s education. Recently, our People Experience and Inclusion team attended the LGBT Foundation Training Academy and are now working towards their accreditation. Our Pride Ally Group – which is formed of colleagues from across the business – will be joining the Academy Training later this year, too.​ ​ ​

In the spirt of expressing yourself loudly and proudly, this Pride season we’ve created a kaleidoscope Instagram filter which our #NewLookers have given a spin below. Whether rocking a new ‘fit or bold eye look, join in and show us how you do you on stories by giving it a go!​

“I’m my true authentic self which creates a safe and open environment for all those around me.”
