As Chair of Aviva Pride UK, and now global lead for the network, Lauren’s volunteer role includes organising events and webinars (to extend global reach) on topics such as trans* inclusion and bisexuality in the workplace, co-ordinating attendance at nine UK&I Pride events, and developing internal and external campaigns to send a visible message on inclusion. She also produced an “allies guide” and sits on Aviva’s trans* employee and customer working groups to drive trans* inclusion. As Global Lead, she is the first point of contact for LGBT* colleagues in other markets, including Singapore, Poland and France, where they are working towards LGBT+ inclusion. Externally, she is a founding member of Link Up North, she sits on the committee for York Pride and has provided guidance to local secondary school libraries on LGBT+ students, resources and how to support LGBT+ inclusion in schools.
