Croydon Pride 2024 cancelled due to lack of funding

Organisers of Croydon Pride have made the sad decision to cancel 2024 PrideFest, due to a “lack of funding combined with ever-increasing costs”.

Instead of  traditional Pride this year, organisers have announced they will instead be partnering with local venues to run a series of events in Croydon for Pride Month this year. In the meantime, they will be working on addressing funding and internal governance.Paula Goodwin, chair of Croydon Pride, said: “If you’re interested in getting involved, as a trustee or volunteer, please CLICK HERE. We’ll be back in 2025 for a fabulous PrideFest!”
