Llanelli's grass roots hospital radio station, Radio BGM, which marks fifty years of serving local hospitals this year, say that they had a great time at their stall at Llanelli Pride this year. The radio station issued a lovely statement saying "we had the incredible opportunity to attend Llanelli Pride 2024. Being part of this vibrant celebration of diversity and inclusion was both exhilarating and heartwarming. The event was a fantastic showcase of the strength and unity within the LGBTQ+ community, and it was an honour to be there in support. Llanelli Pride 2024 was more than just a parade; it was a gathering that highlighted the importance of solidarity and acceptance. We were delighted to see people of all ages and backgrounds coming together to celebrate love, equality, and diversity. The community spirit was palpable throughout the day. Local vendors, performers, and activists contributed to an atmosphere of celebration and support, making it clear that Llanelli Pride is not just an event, but a movement that brings people together. We were inspired by the passion and dedication of those who organised and participated in the event, and it was a privilege to witness such a powerful demonstration of solidarity. Supporting community events like Llanelli Pride is crucial for fostering an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and accepted. Our presence at the event was a small but meaningful way to contribute to this larger goal. It reaffirmed our commitment to standing with the LGBTQ+ community and supporting initiatives that promote equality and acceptance. As we reflect on our experience at Llanelli Pride 2024, we are filled with gratitude and pride. It was a day of celebration, connection, and empowerment, reminding us of the importance of community and the ongoing need to support and uplift each other. Thank you to everyone who made Llanelli Pride 2024 such a remarkable event. We look forward to continuing to be part of this important journey and to celebrating the progress we make together." Radio BGM broadcasts online and well as through hospital cable networks and therefore can link the local community in with the life of local hospitals. Its work is appreciated by many in the area it serves. Well done Radio BGM, we are pleased that Llanelli Pride was such a positive experience for you. Keep up the great work!
