Aviva Ireland & BeLonG To # SafeToDream
BeLonG To is delighted to have an ongoing partnership with Aviva on our joint campaign #SafeToDream. #SafeToDream was the winning entry to the 2019 Irish Sponsorship Awards – ‘Best Societal Sponsorship – Charity’.
Sadly many LGBTI+ young people have negative experiences in sport facing bullying and discrimination. One of Aviva’s values is to care like crazy and when they heard LGBTI+ young people’s experiences they were moved to help. Together with the Aviva Stadium, the home of Irish soccer and rugby, we forged a public awareness campaign highlighting that LGBTI+ young people should be #SafeToDream about sport as part of their lives.
