FUNDING RECEIVED!! 🎤🎺🎺

We are delighted to announce that we have received funding from the National Lottery Awards for All community fund!

They have given us money to enable Bute Pride festival weekend to happen this August 7-9th.

They have also given us a smaller amount to enable the community group to deliver another year of community social events, activities & friendships on the island (including helping LGBTQ+ people get to appropriate events they otherwise couldn’t get to).

 This funding means we can continue creating welcoming spaces where LGBTQ+ people , friends & families, & allies can connect, belong and be their authentic selves. It will also help us to deliver another fantastic Bute Pride Weekend, 7-9th August, including our Pride Parade / Protest March and community celebrations. 🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
