“Pride is a time to demonstrate solidarity with those in the LGBTQ+ community who may not yet feel safe or empowered to speak out, as well as a time to come together with friends, families, and allies to honour diversity and inclusion.Northampton Pride Committee
“While Pride is filled with joy, it also serves to remind us that the journey towards liberation is far from over, and together we must continue to call out and tackle this discrimination and inequality.
“We’re incredibly proud of the effort and commitment that has gone into preparing this year’s Northampton Pride and we can’t wait to welcome the community for a day that promises to be both uplifting and unforgettable. A huge thank you to those who have helped support the day.”
“Community events are a big part of making West Northants an inclusive and welcoming place for our residents. It is really encouraging to see such support and partnership efforts from the community and organisations in making these types of events happen.”Cllr Mark Arnull, Leader of WNC
