Donate

Bristol Pride is a registered charity. Each year, we have to raise the money make one of the largest Pride events in the UK happen and we need your help to create a festival that uplifts and supports the LGBT+ community, and provides a space for protest, celebration, and visibility.

Our aim is to keep Pride financially accessible to everyone, not just those that can afford high ticket prices, so we subside our wristbands through donations that we receive which also supports our year round work to be a voice for the community, tackle prejudice and hate and to ensure Bristol keeps moving towards a better society for us all.

There is no core funding to ensure that Pride happens or to support the work we do throughout the year. Despite public perceptions, we are a charity separate from local council or government.

On average, it costs £740k to put on Bristol Pride each year. We rely on your donations to keep Pride happening.

You can support us by donating online and getting your Supporter Wristband early. You can also organise fundraising at any point in the year through events or your workplace. You can also ask your workplace to sponsor Pride.

Terms and Conditions

Donate via payroll

You can also donate via your employer's payroll system. This means each month, a donation is taken from your gross pay (that's your pay before deductions such as a pension, tax and national insurance). The best way of doing this is getting in touch with your employer's HR or Payroll team to see if they have an option to donate to a charity via payroll.
