The Manchester Pride Community Fund raises essential funds to support LGBTQ+ communities. Every penny donated to the Manchester Pride Community Fund goes directly to LGBTQ+ causes and projects in Greater Manchester. This means none of the money you donate goes to the day to day operations of The Manchester Pride Charity.
Our incredible volunteers dedicate thousands of hours over the course of the year to support LGBTQ+ people, events and culture in Greater Manchester. Our volunteer team has to grown to 400+, so you can see why our volunteers are a driving force behind the smooth-running of the Manchester Pride Festival and a key part of helping Manchester Pride achieve our charitable objectives. With thanks to the proud supporters of our volunteer programme, Starbucks.
