🗓️ UK Black Pride is Sunday, 11th August 2024.

Looking back at UK Black Pride. Did you know this year is the 19th UK Black Pride celebration and we’re now the world’s largest Black Pride in the world?
This year, celebrate with us at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park on Sunday, 11th August 2024.
We are committed to providing a 100% FREE PRIDE, ensuring money is never a barrier to providing a safe space to the Black and POC q***r community.

🏳️‍🌈✨Happy Pride Month🏳️‍⚧️

While we should celebrate pride all year round, let’s also remember those who can’t celebrate because they live in places where they’re not free to express themselves.

There are still many injustices against Black and POC q***r individuals. Let’s continue to raise our voices for our siblings issues, embrace our community, and support one another ✨💜
