Winners of Diversity Event at the Cumbria Diversity Awards for Furness Pride 2022
furness pride 2023
In 2019 Young people from our LGBTQ+ youth group visited Liverpool Pride and had a great time watching the Parade and acts all in the name of inclusion. When they returned they asked why Furness didn't have a similar event so Furness Pride was developed. In 2020 and 2021 our events had to be virtual due to Covid however 2022 will be a family friendly event in Barrow town centre on May 14th 12-6. We will have various acts, educational workshops, performances and a mini pride to enable people from the LGBTQ+ community and allies to celebrate inclusivity. A huge thank you to the PRIDE steering group and the many organisations and individuals for helping us to make this happen.
