Campaigns
We stand with the people already doing this.
The Glitter Standard is one thing: a tested standard of welcome for venues. The campaigns below are the wider fight and Glittered venues carry them into the room. We promote them; we do not claim them. None of these organisations has endorsed the Standard unless it says so on their own site.
Year round
Ask for Angela
The codeword that gets someone out of a situation quietly. It is inside the base of every Glittered venue and it is the one thing our testers try in one venue in three. Delivered locally through Best Bar None and WAVE training.
Same Side (UN Women UK)
A year-round campaign with Vodafone Foundation using sport to offer young men a better story about manhood than the manosphere, with a free conversation guide for parents and a bystander film released in August 2026. Glittered venues are where bystanders act, and the Same Side conversation belongs at every bar that sells to young men.
Best Bar None
The Home Office supported safer socialising accreditation that the Standard sits on. If your venue is not in a scheme, start there.
Good Night Out
Harassment response training and accreditation for venues. Recognised in full by the Standard.
Hidden Disabilities Sunflower
The lanyard that says "I may need more time or help". Every Glittered venue recognises it and one of our testers wears one.
Stop Hate UK and Report It
Third-party hate reporting, on every Glittered poster and inside every private facility.
The calendar
Ten dates a Glittered venue marks. Each is a night to put the campaign on the bar, the door and the socials, and a moment for your Inclusion Lead to run the conversation with the team.
| When | Campaign | What a Glittered venue does |
|---|---|---|
| 8 October | Rainbow Laces Day (Stonewall) | Laces on the bar team, the Proud Pledge on the socials, the sports screens on. Rainbow Laces is Stonewall's campaign for LGBTQ+ inclusion in sport and it belongs in every clubhouse and every pub with a match on. |
| 10 to 17 October | National Hate Crime Awareness Week | The reporting route on every table; the hate incident procedure re-briefed; a night with the local police licensing team or hate crime officer at the venue. |
| October | Black History Month | The door rule re-briefed; a programme, a DJ or a night led by Black promoters and performers; Be Inclusive Hospitality's work shared with the team. |
| 13 to 19 November | Trans Awareness Week, and Trans Day of Remembrance on the 20th | The facilities policy re-briefed; Galop and Switchboard front and centre; a quiet moment on the 20th. |
| November | Purple Tuesday | The access information checked and republished; the Euan's Guide listing updated; the adjustments list refreshed. |
| 25 November to 10 December | White Ribbon Day and the 16 Days of Activism | Ask for Angela retrained; the Same Side conversation with the team; men on the team make the White Ribbon promise. |
| Mid March | Neurodiversity Celebration Week | A quieter night or hour published in advance; sensory information refreshed; the Sunflower on the bar. |
| 17 May | IDAHOBIT | The Standard's belonging data for the venue shared with the team; the poster refreshed. |
| June to August | Pride season | The badge on the float, the Glitterbomb night, testers recruited at Pride, and the year-round question asked out loud: what happens here in November? |
| Freshers, September | Welcome week | Every SU venue re-briefed, every new starter on the module within the month, the belonging QR cards on every table. |
Campaign names and dates belong to the organisations that run them. We link to them, we promote them, and we say so.
The community we stand with
Glitterbomb supports all of these organisations, building a community of people who want fun, safe and inclusive spaces for everyone. Their logos show who we champion and who we send people to; they have not endorsed the Standard unless it says so on their own site.
Run a campaign with us
If you run a national campaign on safety, inclusion, hate or violence against women and girls and you want it in the rooms where nights out happen, Glittered venues are the delivery network you have been missing. One conversation.
If something happens to you tonight
Support, whoever and wherever you are. These appear on every Glittered poster.
