Multiple events celebrating Pride in **Southwark**, London have been awarded a share of **£32,000** from **Southwark Council**.

More than 30 organisations applied for the **Southwark Pride** funding pot, which supports events that celebrate LGBTQ+ identity, culture, histories and rights.

Cllr **Stephanie Cryan**, Cabinet Member for Equalities, Democracy and Finance, said: “With the results of the 2021 census showing that Southwark has one of the largest populations of LGBTQ+ people in England, it was very important for us to be able to offer this funding for a second year.

“I am so pleased we had so many fantastic applications and I think we have selected some great events that will support our LGBTQ+ residents in a wide range of communities this year.”

Successful bidders include **Bermondsey Arts Group** which will host readings and music performances, zine making workshops with all-LGBTQ+ and disabled or neurodivergent team **Queer Diary** and **Copla-Cabaret** which will run performance workshops for LGBTQ+ migrants.

**Robin Paley Yorke** of Seemia Theatre, which “shares stories that ought to be heard”, said: “Seemia Theatre CIC and Copla Cabaret are really excited to be offering this series of workshops.

“At a time when our LGBTQ+ community is experiencing increased hate-crime, we hope the Copla Cabaret workshops provide a space to play, celebrate and come together as a community.”
