🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Happy Pride Month!! It’s time to be proud!

This Pride month, social media will be full of companies changing their icon to a rainbow and shop shelves will be groaning with the weight of rainbow t-shirts. The good ones will even be donating to LGBTQ+ charities.

But too many LGBTQ+ young people still don’t feel like Pride is for them.
Whether that’s because of unsupportive parents at home, anti-LGBTQ+ bullying at school or hateful headlines, some young people simply don’t feel safe coming out.

That’s where you come in.

This we want to raise £45,000 so that LGBTQ+ young people can continue to have free access to specialist youth work and support services. Our aim is to fund a minimum of 1,500 hours of support, enabling LGBTQ+ young people to thrive and achieve their full potential, because we believe all LGBTQ+ young people deserve to live happy, fulfilling lives.

🎄🎶 Is it too early to mention the festive season? 👀

We don’t think so!

We’re back this December, with our friends in the sector .charity and to celebrate the festive season !

Back for its 3rd year, this annual event is one of our favourites and sells out quickly so be speedy!

Last year, one of our lovely audience members said: “It’s an inclusive event, which is what me and my family are all about. So we’re thrilled to be here, we’re having a great time!”. It’s a space for celebration and inclusion, everyone is welcome.

Get your singing voices ready for the carols, we will see you there! Free tickets are linked in our bio.

Orla has been with us at The Proud Trust for over a year and it's been fantastic to see her find her passions and grow in confidence. She said "It was my first Manchester pride and it was so fun to capture the moments and the memories we shared".
