Better representation, bigger sense of belonging
We want to be a place where you can not only be yourself but thrive in your career and be celebrated for it. That’s why we’re doing more to support our LGBTQ+ community and increase their representation within our workforce.
A community for everyone
This network is open to everyone working with us, whether they identify as LGBTQ+ or not, and are proud to have created a wonderful community, all eager to learn more and continue supporting one another.
From Pride months packed with events, to educational webinars with special guests, the network works to ensure LGBTQ+ voices are heard across our company while championing inclusion and celebrating diversity. We also have a Trans & Non-binary toolkit to support trans/non-binary employees coming out at work, in addition to monthly calls for the trans community and another call for parents of trans kids.
In 2024 we ranked 6th in the Stonewall Workplace Equalities Index, and top Telco! A phenomenal achievement, up from 61st in 2023.
The network has been recognised as a 'Highly Commended Network Group' by Stonewall. Plus, the network’s executive sponsor, Andrea Dona was named a Top 40 Advocate for LGBTQ+ inclusion in business in 2025.
Sponsorship & Events
Throughout the year, we host events, panel discussions and awareness activities that celebrate our LGBTQ+ colleagues, amplify their voices and help create a culture where everyone feels they belong.
Our Pride celebrations bring colleagues together to hear from our employee networks, learn more about LGBTQ+ experiences, and explore the steps we're taking to build a more inclusive workplace. We also run a range of educational events and workshops covering topics such as LGBTQ+ inclusion, allyship, bi visibility, inclusive language, neurodiversity, LGBTQ+ history, and trans and non-binary inclusivity.
Beyond VodafoneThree, we're proud to support and sponsor events including Newbury, Reading, Glasgow and London Pride, as well as Bi Pride, UK Black Pride, National Student Pride and Mighty Hoopla. We also partner with organisations such as myGwork to connect with diverse talent and share opportunities across our business.
Doing more as a business
Allyship is essential to making a place where everyone from the LGBTQ+ community can belong. That’s why we have online learning to help colleagues understand how they can be a more impactful ally.
We’re also working to ensure all our policies and benefits meet the needs of our employees. From our transitioning guidance to our gender dysphoria benefits, we are doing more to make sure people can truly be themselves when they work with us.
