🌈🪩 X Factor winner, and Geordie fave Joe McElderry 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 we have 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 ways to help:, organise a fundraiser, buy a Rainbow Cookie or Gay AF Beer, host a bake sale, or simply help spread the word.

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

🌈✨ 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.
