Northumberland Pride

Northumberland Pride serves the Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual and Transgender Plus (LGBT+) community living, working and visiting the County of Northumberland and beyond. Established in August 2017, our organisation was set up to raise awareness of LGBT+ culture and heritage. We achieve this by promoting equality and diversity for the elimination of discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity.

​

In 2018 we held Northumberland’s first ever 7 days of pride which ended in a spectacular celebration of LGBT+ life at our main Pride Festival. Now in our fifth year we are seeing attendance figures increasing year on year to a staggering 10,000 members of the LGBT+ community, our allies, companies and local communities attend our events. Our journey has continued to evolve and we now support the community 365 days a year by offering specific support services to the community and reach a further 12,000 people through the delivery of our services.

​

What makes us different?

Typically, most people associate ‘Pride’ organisations with a one-off Pride Festival and whilst this is an important part of our delivery, we are so much more than a one-day festival. We support LGBT+ communities across the county 365 days a year, many of whom are at a disadvantage to accessing LGBT+ support services due to the lack of provision over the vast and rural area of Northumberland.

​

We support these vulnerable LGBT+ people with domestic abuse and sexual violence, financial inclusion, one to one counselling, community integration, victims of crime, sexual health advice, physical activity, social isolation, educational skills and a wide range of mental health & wellbeing issues.
