London Pride & Trans Pride 2022

London Pride & Trans Pride 2022

On Saturday 2 July, a raft of Otters took part in London Pride. We had the best day, as always, taking part in London Pride! It was a big one, back for the first time since 2019 🙌🙌.

As 2019 'Best float' winners, we had big boots to fill, and we rose to the challenge! Made using rescued, recycled and sustainable materials, our Pride boat got much acclaim! 🚣‍♀️🌈

Thanks to everyone who helped pull this together.

On Saturday 9 July, some Otters marched at the Trans and Non-binary Pride. 🏳️‍⚧️

It was a brilliant collective march for rights, equality, safety and pride for trans and non-binary people and allies. 🙌💕

We strongly believe trans and non-binary people belong in our club, our sport and all sports, at all levels. This is central to our founding principles.

As such, we support the Mermaids' campaign for trans inclusion in sport. We’ve signed their open letter to UK Sporting bodies, which you can read here.
