This year’s Brighton & Hove Pride LGBTQ+ Community Parade, set for Saturday 2nd August 2025, carries a theme that speaks volumes not just for the LGBTQ+ community—but also for everyone working across the Social Care sector: “Ravishing Rage – Through every struggle we shine!”
It’s a theme of passion, defiance, and resilience. And for those in Social Care, it hits home.
Social Care is built on strength through adversity. It’s a vocation that sees struggle firsthand—supporting people through isolation, disability, trauma, discrimination, and loss. It’s a sector that stands up, time and again, in underfunded systems, against burnout, and often without recognition. Yet still, care workers shine—with compassion, integrity, and a fierce belief in dignity and equality for all.
Ravishing Rage is the perfect expression of this. It’s not just anger—it’s energised resistance. It’s turning hardship into hope, pain into pride, and invisibility into impact. Just like the LGBTQ+ movement, Social Care professionals know what it means to be undervalued and to keep showing up anyway—fighting for change, for justice, and for each other.
This year, when we march, we’re not just showing pride in who we are—we’re showing pride in what we do. We dance in protest, we march in celebration, and together, we demand a future where care, inclusion, and humanity are never afterthoughts.
Join us. Be louder than ever. Be brighter than before. Because through every struggle, we shine.
