Your Pride In London

2022 marked the 50th anniversary of Pride in the UK and we are now planning for the future, making it an exciting time to join Pride in London as a volunteer.

Pride in London has a renewed sense of purpose to highlight the challenges still facing the LGBT+ community today despite progress. We are run by a group of volunteers who are passionate about equality and diversity and are drawn from all walks of life. Pride aims to raise awareness of LGBT+ issues and campaign for the freedoms that will allow all of our community to live their lives on a genuinely equal footing.

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.

We continue to actively encourage applications from diverse backgrounds, particularly women, people of colour and those from the trans and non-binary communities
