Tesco and AKT
Tesco has been a partner of Pride in London for ten years; donating lunches for Parade volunteers on the day and giving out little helps like water and flags to paradegoers, in addition to providing generous financial support for the community.
Carrie is the Deputy CEO at AKT – a homelessness charity working to secure safe homes and better futures for LGBTQ+ young people. Click here to hear what it takes to be a great ally at Tesco.
