**Isle of Wight** (IW) **Pride** along with many organisations that rely on volunteers to function, have found another impact of the **Covid-19** pandemic is the decline in people coming forward to get involved.

To rekindle interest and welcome new volunteers, IW Pride is holding a drop-in session on **Friday, February 25** at the **Riverside Centre** in Newport from **12.30 – 6.30pm**. Anyone interested in becoming part of **Team Pride** can go along and discover plans for 2022 and how to take part at Pride on **Saturday, July 16** and the build-up during the coming months. Trustees and supporters will be on hand to answer questions and talk about opportunities.

Everyone is welcome, be it from within the LGBTQ+ community to allies. Whatever your skill, any help is appreciated, from rattling a bucket to organising the event, performing, to site decoration.

Isle of Wight Pride 2018

**Laura Fraser**, trustee of IW Pride said *“Besides health and wellbeing, the last two years has changed many people’s lives, like their priorities in life and work life balance.*

*“The response to support each other during the last couple of years has been phenomenal with helping those in isolation and at vaccination centres. However, we are now seeing a major impact in people coming forward to volunteer.*

*“Being part of Team Pride promises to be a rewarding experience for everyone and offers some amazing opportunities to get involved. Every offer of help counts, and IW Pride can help find a role to be part of an amazing event for the Island and many visitors.”*

IW Pride with a parade, community village and activities will be on **Saturday, July 16**, 2022.

Anyone unable to drop-in on the day is invited to email [info@iwpride.org](mailto:info@iwpride.org) for more info.
