London LGBT+ Community Pride is today calling on people across London to get involved with planning and delivering Pride in London in 2013. There are just five months to go until the Parade on Saturday 29 June and there are ambitious plans not only for the day itself but for a week-long festival beginning on 25 June.
The group is looking urgently for people who can manage liaison with businesses and residents along the Parade route, in Soho and other festival locations, or who want to work as stewards on the day. They also need designers, performers and fundraisers. Whatever your background and experience, they say that there will be something to do for anyone who wants to be part of this exciting event and develop new skills.
London LGBT+ Community Pride is asking community groups and other LGBT businesses and organisations to run a wide variety of events that will be promoted as part of the Pride Festival. The group is also seeking nominations from for seats on the Community Advisory Board. Nominations close on 21 February.
Anyone who wants to help reinvent Pride for 2013 and beyond can find out more by following the links at:www.londoncommunitypride.org/get-involved/ and register for the open meeting at Heaven on 19 February.
Chair of London LGBT+ Community Pride Michael Salter said: “We’re looking for people with all kinds of skills and experience to help make Pride in London a roaring success. Just visit the Get Involved page on our website to find out more and register for the open meeting at Heaven on 19 February.
“All the volunteers on the Board and Executive are investing their time and energy because we want to give London the truly incredible Pride it deserves. We’re committed to delivering a Pride of, by and for the entire LGBT+ community. Now Your Pride Needs You – because working together, we can make a huge impact on the whole of the city and give ourselves and London the Pride we deserve.”
