🌈 A HUGE THANK YOU TO Q Space 🌈

Today we want to say a very special thank you to the team at Q Space for their incredible generosity and support for Rushden Pride CIC. ❤️

Sadly, Q Space is coming to the end of its journey and closing down, which is something we know will be felt by many. But we are incredibly grateful that, as they close, they have chosen to support other community organisations and allow some of their resources to continue making a difference. 🥹💜

Q Space has kindly awarded Rushden Pride CIC a grant of £275 , as well as gifting us a number of useful assets, including event equipment, furniture, Pride flags and other items that will help us as we continue building Rushden Pride and planning our future events. 🌈✨

We honestly cannot thank you enough. What could have simply been the end of an organisation is instead helping to plant seeds for the future of another community project. And we promise we will put these resources to good use! ❤️

From all of us at Rushden Pride CIC, thank you for believing in community, inclusion and the importance of creating spaces where everyone can feel welcome.

We wish everyone involved with Q Space all the very best for whatever comes next. 🌈

Your work doesn’t just disappear — pieces of it will continue through the communities you’ve helped. ❤️

🌈 RUSHDEN PRIDE x Aim High Festival 2026

Rushden Pride are incredibly proud to stand alongside AIM High Festival as one of their supporters. 💜

We absolutely love what this incredible event brings to our community — a fantastic FREE festival for everyone to enjoy, while supporting such an important cause.

We cannot wait to be there, celebrate with you all and show our support for Ailsa’s Aim and everything they do. 🫶

Come and say hello to the Rushden Pride team — we’ll see you there! 🌈✨

Rushden Pride are proud to stand with our community. ❤️

🎉💚 LOOK AT ALL OF OUR AIM HIGH SPONSORS! 💚🎉

We are genuinely blown away by the number of wonderful businesses, organisations and individuals supporting Aim High Festival 2026!

Our sponsor banners are now being made, and we cannot wait to see all those incredible logos displayed together. We have received financial sponsorship, donated products, professional services, equipment, time and an enormous amount of practical support.

Every contribution—large or small—is helping us create a completely FREE and inclusive festival** for our community. We simply couldn’t do this without you. 💚

As always, we want to be completely transparent about the charity’s finances.

So far, Ailsa’s Aim has paid out £33,124.95 for Aim High Festival—and the bills are still stacking up! 😳

Thanks to our fantastic sponsors, fundraisers, traders and generous community, we are already getting towards having half of the festival costs covered, with just over a week still to go!

That is an incredible achievement, but we still have a way to go. Once the festival is over and every final bill, sponsorship payment, collection and donation has been counted, we will share the complete figures and announce exactly how much we have raised and how much of the festival cost has been recovered.

Aim High is free to attend because we never want cost to prevent a family from enjoying a brilliant community day. However, free for our visitors certainly doesn’t mean free to provide.

If you would like to help us cover more of the cost, please donate here:

To every single sponsor and supporter shown on our banners: **thank you**. You are helping us create something truly special for Higham Ferrers and the wider community—and we are SO excited! 🎡🎶🎨💚

🌈 RUSHDEN PRIDE NEEDS YOUR HELP! 🌈

As a newly established Community Interest Company (CIC), every penny we raise goes directly towards Rushden Pride and supporting the charity/causes connected to our event. 💜

That also means we simply don’t have the funds right now to spend on an accountant or bookkeeper.

So, we’re looking for a volunteer bookkeeper who could spare some time to help us keep our finances organised, transparent and properly managed. 📊💷

If you’re a bookkeeper, accountant, or someone with experience in managing charity/CIC finances and you’d like to support what we’re doing, we’d love to hear from you!

👉 Please tag someone below who might be able to help, or comment below if this is something you could offer.

Even a little bit of your time could make a huge difference to Rushden Pride and help us make sure more of the money raised goes exactly where it’s needed. 🌈❤️

Please share this post and help us find our bookkeeping superstar! 🦸‍♀️📚
