The Brighton & Hove LGBT Community Safety Forum and youth organisation Blueprint 22 will be partnering at Brighton & Hove Pride this year to deliver inclusive and safe activities for young people in the Parade and Preston Park event.

Blueprint 22 will be providing youth volunteers to support Brighton Pride and the LGBT CSF service users on the parade and in both the Family and Access tent area on Preston Park.

The youth volunteers will run a range of  activities and games and hope to highlight the positive impact young people can have in the city.

Billie Lewis, Volunteer Chair of the Brighton & Hove LGBT Community Safety Forum and Access & Inclusion Manager for Brighton Pride, said: “I have attended several meetings where volunteer organisations and the statutory authorities have been in attendance. These meetings have identified the need for activities to take place to encourage younger people to look at alternative recreational options that do not involve drinking alcohol or drug taking over the Pride Festival. 

This joint project will empower the younger attendees to have an active and positive role volunteering alongside their peers and allies within a safe and inclusive environment”.
