The Northampton Pride Committee is appealing to businesses to support the town’s Pride event on Saturday, 18 July.
It will begin in Market Square and finish in Becket’s Park, where live performances will be held. Previous celebrations have seen support from organisations such as Q Space, The Lowdown, Outlaws, Kinky Boots, Northampton Leisure Trust, The Grosvenor Centre, Unison and Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. Councillor Anna King, Cabinet member for community engagement and safety, said: >“Every year, Pride Northampton relies on the generosity of local businesses and support organisations to deliver an event that brings the community together “By taking part in Pride, organisations can visibly demonstrate their commitment to diversity and inclusion, both internally and externally, and also help support the UK's biggest LGBT+ platform and event.” Taking place between 12.30pm and 6pm, the event is organised by Northampton’s LGBTQ and Allies Forum and the Northampton Pride Committee, and aims to highlight the LGBTQ community, businesses and support groups.> Additionally, local bands, performers, small businesses and residents who would like the opportunity to take part in this year’s Northampton Pride can register their interest on Northampton Borough Council website https://bit.ly/2ZLvwX4> Sponsorship packages are available at https://bit.ly/2RKMPW0
