Celebrate Diversity at

the Pride in Diversity Awards Yorkshire 2026

The Pride in Diversity (PID) Awards celebrate the outstanding individuals and communities driving meaningful change across Yorkshire. These awards shine a spotlight on our region’s most inspirational diversity champions by amplifying their voices and recognising their unwavering dedication to building a fairer, more inclusive society.

From Neurodiversity, Disability, LGBTQ+, Race, Generation and Culture, we honour those whose everyday actions create extraordinary impact and are the true backbone of our communities.

By celebrating these achievements, we aim to spark new opportunities for collaboration, boost vital funding for essential services, and recognise those making a real difference. Together, we can shape a more inclusive Yorkshire where everyone has the chance to thrive.

Join us on Thursday 18 June 2026 at the VIP Black & White Lounge, First Direct Bank Arena, as the Pride in Diversity Awards return bigger, bolder, and more inspiring than ever.

✨ Following the incredible success of the inaugural 2025 event, this year’s celebration will continue to spotlight the changemakers, allies, and trailblazers who make Yorkshire a place where everyone belongs.

Be part of a regional event that celebrates Yorkshire’s spirit, champions inclusion, and shines a light on those making a lasting difference.
Your nomination could inspire the next wave of positive change.
