It only takes 2 seconds to bag it and bin it. Listen to what the bairns are saying and look out for their lovely posters 🙂🐾💩

Can you spare a couple of hours to support this year’s Pride?

🌈✨VOLUNTEERS NEEDED✨🌈

We have less than two weeks to go and we are still in desperate need of some volunteers. As you all know, we cannot run the parade without the correct number of parade marshals, and we DESPERATELY need more, otherwise the parade just will not happen.

To be a parade marshal all you need to do is attend a short training session beforehand, and be available from 10.30am-12.30pm on the day to walk alongside the parade.

It's a great way to get involved and be part of the Parade!

Also, all volunteers will be entered into a raffle and could win a FREE return trip on the Northlink for 2 people! Which sounds pretty excellent to me.... 👀

We have a range of other roles you can help out with:
A village or evening party steward,
Helping us with setting up and taking down the village and party.

Please share this around if you think you know someone who could help!

If you're interested in helping us out for Shetland Pride 2026, fill in this form and someone will get in touch to organise training: https://forms.gle/bLnJhccPHvZjyFXFA

Looks fantastic!

That's all the bunting up in the town centre now.
Around the start of June you will start to see the flowers going out.
This year Da Barn and COPE Ltd will be supplying flowers and looking after them throughout the summer.
