Have you got an idea to help fundraise for Pride?
Office-based activities could include quizzes, dress down Fridays, bake sales or raising money with our Pride ribbons. We’re also a registered charity for any budding 10K or Marathon runners or we’re always keen to hear your ideas.
Pride brings thousands of people to the city and this year we are expanding to two weeks of events. Businesses can support us by making donations from featured menu items such as a special Pride Cocktail, Pride-related apparel sales or again just get in touch if you have an idea.
Or perhaps you want to hold a separate fundraising event such as a club night, public quiz or social.
Email us to get in touch to register your fundraising efforts so we can tell people about it or share your ideas to help support Pride to happen or why not take a look at some of our sponsorship options to get the full Pride package of Pride outreach and marketing.
A great way to support Pride is to volunteer.
We’re run by volunteers and are always looking for extra help to make Pride happen.
For 2020 we are particularly looking for those with online skills, volunteers to moderate comments and events and to support our digital and social media platforms.
If you’re an individual or an organisation looking to get your staff involved in supporting the community then visit our Volunteering Page and sign up to help.
If you are a business looking to organise a work community action day or have several members of staff who want to volunteer as a group and want to chat to our Volunteer Coordinator then Get In Touch.
Community is the beating heart of Bristol Pride and our Community Tent is home to amazing LGBT+ charities, support groups, social groups and service providers.
Due to Covid-19 we are creating space within our Pride Day Online broadcast to showcase our community stalls. We are contacting our existing stall holders for now and are not open to new bookings.
