Pret & Pride
At Pret, we’re committed to creating a truly diverse and inclusive customer and employee experience and culture. Because it takes a lot of unique people to make the world an interesting place. Join us in showing your support this Pride month, and beyond. Because it’s better all together.
What’s love got to do with it? Everything.
We're speading our support for Pride into July, where the Pret Foundation will be donating 10p from each sale of Pret’s lovely Love Bars to our LGBTQ+ partner charity; akt.
Try one, you just might love it.
akt is a national charity supporting LGBTQ+ young people aged 16–25 who are facing homelessness or living in a hostile environment. akt helps them get off the streets and into safe, long-term accommodation, while also providing advice, advocacy, and access to safe spaces and supportive communities. akt's mission is simple: no one should have to choose between a safe home and being who they are.
In support of Pride, the Pret Foundation has donated the fundraising terminals in our shops to help drive donations for such an important cause.
Where you belong.
We want everyone to feel safe in the space they work, to find a place where they really belong, whether that’s in our shops or in our support centre, we welcome everyone. That’s why we started our Diversity Equity and Belonging (DEB) Forums in 2022, employee voice strengthening our DEB plans, and Pret Belonging Groups in May 2023, a range of employee groups that enable people to listen, celebrate and strengthen various communities.
Each group focusses on different employee cultures - from LGBTQIA+, to body and mind, with parents, carers, women in the workplace and multi-cultures in between. You don’t have to identify with a group to join, everyone’s welcome, all together.
