🌈✨ South Shields diva and RuPaul’s Drag Race alum Sally TM is here to tell you why we need Pride! ✨🌈

Newcastle Pride has always been about community, visibility, and looking after one another. But this year, rising costs and reduced sponsorship have left a £10,000 funding gap.

If you’re able to donate, every contribution makes a difference. And if donating isn’t possible right now, there are plenty of other ways to help: encourage your workplace to get involved, organise a fundraiser, run a raffle, host a bake sale, or spread the word.

Together, we can help ensure Newcastle Pride continues to thrive for years to come.

Check out Newcastle Pride’s bio to find out how you can support or donate directly via our JustGiving https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/newcastlepride

We’re proud to announce that Nexus, Newcastle Airport, British Airways Flying Proud and Stagecoach are partnering with Newcastle Pride 2026, helping to connect communities and ensure this year’s festival is accessible, inclusive and welcoming for all.

As we celebrate under the theme City of Hope. Streets of Joy, these partners are helping thousands of people travel safely and sustainably to Pride events across Newcastle while supporting our commitment to creating a festival where everyone feels valued, represented and free to be themselves!

Nexus joins as our Official Host Partner, Newcastle Airport becomes our Official Accessibility Partner, British Airways Flying Proud supports the Trans+ Stage programme, and Stagecoach comes on board as Official Travel Partner, helping make Pride more accessible for visitors travelling from across the region, the UK and beyond.

Together, they’re helping us build a Pride where connection, visibility and belonging are at the heart of every journey!
