With just one month to go to Brighton Pride a group of Pride Makers prepare fundraising buckets ready to shake on the Brighton Pride Community Parade.
Twelve Pride Makers spent Saturday afternoon in the new offices of the LGBT Community Groups Network in Prestamex House on Preston Road, putting new labels onto the fundraising buckets that volunteers will shake on the Brighton Pride Community Parade on August 2. Some of the volunteers came from as far afield as Bexhill on Sea and Worthing.
Pride Maker Debbie Wheatley explains why she volunteers for Pride: “I love being in Brighton and living my life in a non judgemental city. I want to give something back and this is the best way I can do it. Thank you Brighton Pride for everything you do for us all.”
There are many opportunies to volunteer for Pride and get a free ticket for the Preston Park event.
You can shake a bucket on the parade. You can carry the 60 metre Rainbow Flag or one of the 78 placards highlighting the countries were it remains illegal to be LGBT.
