Filler Direct Stands Proud: Supporting LGBT+ Youth

At Filler Direct, we’re all about community and inclusivity. As we dive into Pride Month, we’re thrilled to announce our incoming donation to The Proud Trust, a fantastic LGBT+ youth charity that’s all about empowering young people. This June, we’re donating £1 from every order to The Proud Trust, supporting their incredible work in uplifting the community.

Who is The Proud Trust?

Founded by Amelia Lee and Sally Carr MBE, The Proud Trust has an amazing history that dates back to the 1970s. Their mission? To support LGBT+ young people and help them be proud of who they are.

Why it matters:

Jade Lunny, our office manager and head of marketing said: “Showing allyship, by openly celebrating pride and LGBTQ+ rights, means a lot to us because we want every one of our employees and customers to know that they are always accepted for who they are, no matter who they love or how they identify.”

Supporting causes like these is crucial. LGBT+ youth often face unique challenges like discrimination and isolation. Our donations will help The Proud Trust provide the resources, support, and education that can make a real difference in their lives.
