CHAPTER NEWS
As part of the Security Commonwealth, ASIS UK was proud to participate in London Pride, standing alongside partners from across the security profession in support of inclusion, collaboration and community. In this blog, Interim Chair Farah Benis reflects on the importance of cross-sector collaboration, the role of security in enabling safe and inclusive public spaces, and why protecting the rights to peaceful assembly and expression remains fundamental to both our profession and a democratic society.
he ASIS UK Charity Golf Day returned to the beautiful Manor of Groves this year, bringing together members, sponsors, and industry colleagues for a fantastic day of golf, networking, and fundraising in support of PTSD Resolution. Thanks to the generosity of everyone involved, the event raised an incredible £3,630, which ASIS UK plans to donate through The Big Give later this year, potentially doubling the total impact to £7,260.

To everyone who took part — and to our sponsors who make this possible — thank you.
