To help celebrate CI Pride’s 10th Anniversary in 2025, we’d love you to get involved Pride in Sport!
Sponsored by EY, Pride in Sport aims to raise awareness and tackle the issues of racism, homophobia, biphobia, transphobia and sexism in sport.
In collaboration with EY and Liberate, we are committed to creating an environment where everyone feels like they belong.
It’s only when people feel truly accepted that they can perform and participate in sport and physical activity at their best.
Racism, homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, sexism and other prejudicial language can all too often be heard within sport settings and often gets dismissed as ‘banter’. The words we use matter and make the difference between an inclusive space or one that feels exclusive and intimidating for islanders.
We’re asking as many sports people as possible to show their support for Pride in Sport by wearing rainbow laces, sweatbands and lanyards during their sporting activity and to share their photos across social media using the hashtag #PrideInSport.
Whatever your sport, wearing your rainbow merchandise in support of Jersey Pride in Sport demonstrates a commitment to help make local sport and physical activity an inclusive and discrimination-free space.
Channel Islands Pride 2025 is celebrating 10 years on Saturday 21 June! Come and find out more about how we can support your sport offer to be more inclusive at the Pride Parade and Celebrations in People’s Park from 13:00 – Channel Islands Pride in Jersey – Our 10th Anniversary – Channel Islands Pride

Libby Barnett, Sports Programmes Manager at Jersey Sport said: “So many people know and celebrate the many benefits that sport brings to our community, but some islanders who identify as LGBTQIA+ feel there are barriers preventing them from enjoying these settings as much as others. PRIDE IN SPORT is an opportunity to highlight sport’s power and ability to welcome all islanders to get involved and play sport in safe and inclusive spaces. Jersey Sport is proud to be promoting these key messages every day, but particularly around CI Pride to celebrate PRIDE IN SPORT, along with the many local sport organisations who hold the same values.”
