Donate

Bristol Pride is a registered charity. Each year, we put on the largest donation-entry UK Pride, meaning that those who want to attend can do without financial barriers. We create a festival that uplifts and supports the LGBT+ community, and provides a space for protest, celebration, and visibility.

Every year we have to raise the funds to put Bristol Pride on. 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 donation to keep Pride happening.

You can support us in a number of ways: by donating at the event, getting your Supporter Wristband early, or donating online and fundraising at any point in the year.

Donate Online

Donating to Bristol Pride online couldn't be easier: You'll be ensuring our future and keeping Pride a free event for everyone in our community to attend, not those that can afford a ticket.

Your donation will help keep Pride happening and support our year-round work with schools, lobbying, events and projects such as our work raising awareness of hate crime.

By selecting GiftAid, we receive 100% of your donation. We use JustGiving meaning your donation remains free of fees.

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.
