2022 marked the 50th anniversary of Pride in the UK which was an historic milestone; it's now an exciting time to join Pride in London as a volunteer as we build for the future!

Pride in London has a renewed sense of purpose to highlight the challenges still facing the LGBT+ community today despite progress.

Around 150 people volunteer year-round to help us deliver what has become a world-class Pride. It is our intention for Pride in London to best represent all parts of our community.
