To rekindle interest and welcome new volunteers, IW Pride is holding a drop-in session on Friday, February 25 at the Riverside Centre in Newport from 12.30 – 6.30pm. Anyone interested in becoming part of Team Pride can go along and discover plans for 2022 and how to take part at Pride on Saturday, July 16 and the build-up during the coming months. Trustees and supporters will be on hand to answer questions and talk about opportunities.
Everyone is welcome, be it from within the LGBTQ+ community to allies. Whatever your skill, any help is appreciated, from rattling a bucket to organising the event, performing, to site decoration.
Laura Fraser, trustee of IW Pride said “Besides health and wellbeing, the last two years has changed many people’s lives, like their priorities in life and work life balance.
“The response to support each other during the last couple of years has been phenomenal with helping those in isolation and at vaccination centres. However, we are now seeing a major impact in people coming forward to volunteer.
“Being part of Team Pride promises to be a rewarding experience for everyone and offers some amazing opportunities to get involved. Every offer of help counts, and IW Pride can help find a role to be part of an amazing event for the Island and many visitors.”
IW Pride with a parade, community village and activities will be on Saturday, July 16, 2022.
Anyone unable to drop-in on the day is invited to email info@iwpride.org for more info.
