Today, officers from the Maidstone Town Centre Beat Team were proud to attend and support the local ‘Big Gay Out’ Family Picnic right here in our community in Brenchley Gardens. It was a fantastic day filled with love, laughter, and unity — and we were honoured to be part of it.

Events like these are a powerful reminder that everyone deserves to feel safe, respected, and celebrated for who they are. We’re committed to building trust, fostering inclusion, and standing with our LGBTQ+ community — not just during Pride, but every day.

We extend our sincere thanks to the organisers and attendees for the warm welcome and for allowing us to be part of such a vibrant and inspiring celebration. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello, share a smile, or snap a photo with us! 💙
