The Wakefield Pride team have been proudly organising Wakefield’s Pride Events since 2005, having gained charitable status in spring 2020. Their Mission has always been the promotion of equality and diversity for the public benefit, in particular the elimination of discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity.
They raise awareness among the public about the issues and difficulties affecting the lives of the LGBTQIA+ community cultivating a sentiment in favour of equality and diversity. They stage an annual festival in Wakefield and other satellite events throughout the area. They provide entertainment from a wide variety of cultures and foster a fun family atmosphere.
They promote our achievements with other community groups, services and agencies, encourage local businesses, statutory bodies and charities to demonstrate their support.
It is an accessible event for all.
