Pride in Partnership: Biscoes Sponsors Portsmouth’s LGBTQIA+ Celebration

Biscoes Solicitors proudly stood as one of the headline sponsors of this year’s Portsmouth Pride, marking the beginning of a new three-year partnership with the event.

With its longstanding commitment to inclusivity, Biscoes has always prioritised fostering a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to be themselves. This partnership was a natural extension of those values into the wider community.

Reflecting on the firm’s involvement, Stephanie Bellchambers, Director and Head of Family at Biscoes, shared: “This partnership reflects our dedication to promoting inclusivity and celebrating diversity. We were honoured to support an event that brought people together and championed equality for the LGBTQIA+ community in Portsmouth.”

Portsmouth Pride was once again a vibrant celebration of identity and acceptance, perfectly aligning with Biscoes’ ethos of standing against discrimination and fostering a safer, more inclusive future.

Biscoes’ involvement went beyond sponsorship - it was a statement of solidarity. Through this partnership, the firm reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the well-being and rights of all members of the community.

As the city reflects on another unforgettable Pride celebration, Biscoes remains proud to stand with Portsmouth - united in diversity.
