What a difference twelve months makes in the cycle of a new Pride event!
LAST year just a few hundred supporters and allies marched on the inaugural Worthing Pride parade.
Last Saturday, July 13, many thousands turned out in glorious sunshine along with representative walking groups from the Unions, statutory organisations and local charities to join the Mayor of Worthing on the second pride parade along Worthing seafront. It was quite a sight!
Players and volunteers from the Brighton and Hove Sea Serpents RFC, shook buckets along the route of the parade which started opposite the Burlington Hotel, and progressed along the seafront, past the pier and ended up in Beach House Grounds next to the indoor swimming pool.
Worthing Pride are raising funds this year for the Horsham based Hope Charity Project (HCP) which is run by people that are personally touched by a young person struggling with their emotional well-being. They provide a much-needed resource for children aged 10-18 and their families, who are experiencing the trauma of mental health issues in todays society.
The charity currently offers online support and a place to meet and find some support, direction, guidance, answers and inspiration from other families that understand what you are going through.
HCP connect and supports families going through similar experiences and aims to build natural support networks that are close to home and instantly reachable.
