This year will be the tenth Norwich Pride, a celebration of the LGBT+ community which is set to take place in the city centre on July 28.

Benjamin Scotter, Aviva Pride Chair, said: 'I am absolutely delighted that we have chosen to sponsor the Norwich Pride parade this year.

'Aviva's commitment to LGBT is visible today throughout our workplaces, with the Aviva Pride network consisting of over 1,000 members. We recently celebrated ten years of Aviva, so it feels right that we support Norwich Pride in its tenth anniversary.'

Julie Bremner, the Chair of Norwich Pride 2018 added: 'Our thanks to Aviva for sponsoring out ten year anniversary event! Our vision to turn Norwich into a rainbow will be all the more possible with the biggest local private sector employer supporting us.
