Support Us
As Peterborough Pride UK is a not-for-profit organisation, we believe that LGBTQIA+ events should be accessible for all. This means the festival doesn't charge high ticket prices, therefore support from those who can is vital to the future of the festival and other major events.

What do your donations support?
The generous donations we received from 2019 and 2021 not only helped deliver an amazing, accessible festival, but also supported local and national LGBTQIA+ causes.
If any of our events fold any money or property remaining after payment of debts, all proceeds will be given to charities with similar purposes to Peterborough Pride UK, as agreed by the members of the committee by vote.
£60k
That’s how much (roughly) it costs to put on Peterborough Pride each year, taking into account all the fees, travel and expenses.
£3,000
Went to local festivals, kickstarters and projects delivered in Peterborough that help support the LGBTQIA+ community.
Building for the future
We’re hoping to do more and more over the next few years for the local community and we’re just getting started.
Sponsorships
Sponsorships are absolutely vital for delivering Peterborough Pride and offer an opportunity for organisations who are passionate about diversity and inclusivity to support the festival, whilst engaging with the wider community.
This year we are pleased to offer four Sponsorship categories; Bronze, Silver, Gold & Ruby. Each comes with its own set of benefits (see overview below) however each guarantees visibility in our marketing and a feature in our printed festival programme! Interested? We’d love to hear from you!

Become a Pride Fundraiser
Each year, we aim to raise the funds needed to run our Pride festival and donations are absolutely vital. We therefore encourage individuals and groups to organise their own fundraising events.
If you’re interested in fundraising for us, that’s great! If you’re feeling sporty, you could do a sponsored walk, cycle, or climb. Or if you’d prefer to do something less tiring, why not try a bake sale or sponsored dinner party?
We’ve put together a fundraising pack below, which includes all the information you’ll need, including ideas and printable items to help get you started! Have a question about fundraising for us? Email us at fundraising@peterboroughprideuk.com
Become a Pride Volunteer
Pride needs you! Every year, we rely on a helpful group of volunteers to make our events a success! If you’re over 18 and have an interest in supporting LGBTQIA+ events in Peterborough, then volunteering is definitely for you!
We see volunteering as an ideal opportunity for students, however this for anyone who wants to be involved with our main festival and has a great work ethic. You’ll be given FREE access to any events you support on the day, plus your own Volunteer Lanyard, T-Shirt and official Peterborough Pride UK enamel pin, as a thank you!
Applications open July 2022.
