Congleton Pride

Congleton Pride Welcome to Congleton Pride - a charity dedicated to creating a safe hub in Cheshire East for LGBTQIA+ communities and allies to come together.

Congleton Pride was founded in the autumn of 2018 by a group of volunteers and ran our first Pride event in summer 2019. Our group has grown rapidly and has broad support from the community in Congleton. We think we embody Congleton’s slogan – the ‘Little Town with the Big Heart’. Our Vision is that Congleton is an LGBTQIA+ inclusive and welcoming town with an informed and accepting public. Our Mi

ssion is to Make LGBTQIA+ people feel welcome and safe to be open and celebrate who they are in Congleton. In addition to an annual Pride event, we run events throughout the year including informal socials such as a weekly ‘Caffeine Connections’ at Bluey’s in the Town Hall, and fundraisers for our main event. We collaborate with lots of local organisations such as the Town Council, Congleton Museum, the local Police and local churches, and work hard to support the LGBTQIA+ community in Congleton. We will continue to support and celebrate our community and the individuality and uniqueness of the people within it. We are a registered charity our number 1207409

This is Lewis. He was horrifically attacked on a night out in Manchester’s Gay Village 💔

He was then struck to the throat and sent hurtling to the ground, causing him to suffer a severe head injury.

After becoming more 'dazed and confused' over the following days, Lewis then attended A&E, where he had a CT scan and was told he had delayed concussion and a bruised coccyx, which he said was 'really painful'. He was left with black eyes and bruising to his face, as well as an injury to his head 😔

After reporting the incident to the police, Lewis said he was 'absolutely disgusted' by the way he was treated.
The case was closed weeks later. CCTV had been overwritten and could not be obtained because police didn't act quick enough. The suspect never faced justice.

However, other CCTV cameras, operated in the city centre, had actually captured the incident, but that the quality was 'so poor' that it could not have been used as evidence to prosecute or identify his attacker.

Such a horrific story, no one should ever have to go through that 😔

What is it like in Congleton for LGBTQIA+ people? Please complete our survey and let us know what you think!

There are two surveys in the links below - one is for members of the LGBTQIA+ community, the other is for people who are NOT LGBTQIA+. Each of them takes 5-15 minutes to complete.

Thank you!
