London Gatwick supporting summer community events

London Gatwick is supporting a number of community events across Crawley and the wider region this summer, including as headline sponsor for this year’s Crawley Pride event, taking place on August 19th in Goffs Park.

Gatwick sponsored last year’s Crawley Pride event - with a group of airport employees leading the parade alongside a local dance group – and has now increased its involvement to become the headline sponsor for 2023. www.gatwickairport.com

Gatwick has recently launched an employee network, Gatwick Pride, who will lead airport’s involvement in this year’s Crawley Pride. The network is dedicated to representing and advocating for its LBGTQ+ colleagues and supporting the business’ diversity aims.

Around 2,300 people attended last year’s Pride, an important event for Crawley and one that supports Gatwick’s commitment to diversity, equality and inclusion.

The airport also sponsored recent events, including Run Gatwick and the Mid-Sussex Marathon Weekend, supported Crawley’s STEM in the Park – an event aimed at inspiring young people to consider science, technology, engineering and maths subjects and the varied careers available within STEM in a fun and engaging way - and has made a donation to support the Horsham Children’s Parade, taking place in July.
