Hadi Moussa, Chief Business Officer at Deliveroo, said: “Deliveroo is a proud ally of the LGBTTQQIAAP community. Pride 2021 is about embracing inclusivity and we are delighted to give our Deliveroo riders the opportunity to take to the streets with bags displaying Pride flags in a show of support for the community.”

As the Deliveroo network of riders, restaurants and partners continues to grow, the food delivery company remains committed to promoting an inclusive environment and working with partners who share similar values.  To help increase awareness of the issues facing the queer community, as well as offer advice, support and information, the company has launched School for Allies, a new website designed to raise awareness of issues surrounding gender and sexuality.

Deliveroo School of Allies was created by the company’s Pride Committee, which aims to protect and improve the lives of LGBTTQQIAAP Deliveroo employees and allies, wherever they are. Their focus is on educating colleagues, representation in the food delivery industry and playing a leading role in communities, and the team is aided by Helsa Helps.

A mini curriculum will also be provided for potential allies to help foster positive emotional and mental wellbeing for their LGBTTQQIAAP friends, family and colleagues and to spotlight helpful resources.

Deliveroo will be working alongside LGBT Switchboard and Helsa Helps as part of its ongoing commitment to Pride.
