We need lots of stewards on Pride Day to help collect donations from people as they come into the festival and to exchange wristbands.
We want to keep Pride a free event for all to attend but can only do this if people donate, so we need you, our Pride Champions to help ensure Pride can keep happening.
Everyone who volunteers gets a limited edition Pride lanyard and a Pride Day Wristband as a thank you. There are several 3 hour shifts available, simply click on the link below to select your shift and sign up.
We need lots of Parade Stewards to help ensure the parade can happen. A fun and engaging role that means you can still take part in the parade while helping to keep it moving.
Needed for: 2.5 hours 10am-1230pm, you’ll need to arrive for 10am for a briefing. The Parade leaves at 1045am taking about 1.5 hours to complete.
Walking with the march, you’ll ensure everyone keeps to the right side of the road and that the parade keeps moving swiftly.
We will need at least 10 people who are static and remain at road closure points so if you are happy to stand in place and cheer and wave us on please say so.
This is another vital volunteering role and if we do not have enough volunteers it may mean we are not able to keep having a parade event due to restrictions that will be put in place. If you are coming to the parade anyway please consider volunteering as a steward.
We’re looking for Area Coordinators for Pride Day, responsible for helping keep designated areas of the festival running smoothly.
We’re specifically looking for coordinators for our:
Family Area (Ideally CRB checked)
Community Tent
Market and Food Traders
Accessibility (including designated viewing areas)
Ideally you’ll have experience of event management or perhaps are a student studying events and looking for additional experience. Moreover we’re looking for someone who is passionate about Pride and doing a good job.
Tasks on the day will include helping set up in the morning, coordinating any area sponsors or stall holders.
If needed you will help coordinate any other volunteers in your area and be the point of contact for the Pride Team on the day.
You’ll need strong communication skills and the ability to think quickly to resolve any problems that might arise on the day. You’ll know that the day is about having fun, ensuring the safety of other festival goers and maintaining standards for both Pride and any sponsors.
There’ll be some pre planning meetings in the lead up to Pride and you must be available on the day of Pride itself. These roles are vitally important to the smooth running of the festival and you’ll be helping to ensure the day goes without a hitch and is a safe and fun environment for all.
You will have the full support of the Pride Team on the day and we hope to make this a fun and engaging opportunity for you.
