Reserved wristbands will be available for collection from Registry Reception from Monday 1 June up to Friday 5 June. Any unreserved wristbands will also be available for collection from this date from Registry Reception on a 1st come, 1st served basis. Note that no participant without a wristband will be allowed to take part in the Pride Parade. To reserve a wristband, please add your name to this sheet: Pride Wristband Reservations.xlsx.
Staff Rainbow Lanyards
Staff Rainbow Lanyards are available in Registry Reception and Campus Security for any staff member who wishes to collect one. Wearing one shows your commitment to providing a safe and comfortable environment for all our LGBTQIA staff and students. It also shows LGBTQIA people that they can ‘bring their whole selves to you’ without fear of judgement or an unsupportive reaction.
Please do get in contact with EqualityandDiversity@kent.ac.uk if you have any queries.
