Scarborough Pride has unveiled it's bold new fundraising campaign, “Thriving and Free”, aimed at securing the long-term future of the town’s LGBTQIA+ celebrations.
Amid a sharp decline in public donations and rising costs, the campaign is a rallying cry to the community: Pride needs you now more than ever.
Here's Scarborough Pride chair George Wakely with more on the initiative:
Donations, which have traditionally underpinned the event, have dropped significantly in recent months, jeopardising the ability to fund vital infrastructure, security, entertainment, and accessibility provisions.
George added:
‘Thriving and Free’ is more than a fundraising effort, it’s a declaration that Pride in Scarborough belongs to everyone. The campaign invites individuals, businesses, and allies across Yorkshire and beyond to donate whatever they can and keep Pride both thriving and free for the community. From £1 to £1,000, everything can help Pride reach their target and ensure it's continuance for the local community. Larger donors and sponsors will have the opportunity to visibly support one of the North’s most vibrant Pride events.
Scarborough Pride has always been about community, about showing up for each other, being visible, and celebrating freedom in all its forms. Today, the community needs to show up for Pride.
