We are creating something truly special: Leeds’ first-ever LGBTQ+ Youth Pride! And we need your support to make it happen...

This event is more than just a celebration. It’s a powerful act of visibility, a space for healing, and a moment of pure joy for LGBTQ+ young people in our city. For many, this could be their very first Pride. A place where they feel safe, seen, and supported.

We're committed to making this event free and accessible for everyone, especially for those who might not otherwise be able to attend. We’re planning youth-led performances, creative workshops, inspiring speakers, and wellbeing support. There will be music, information, food and a sensory space all shaped by and for young people from across Leeds.

But we can’t do it without your help.

Every donation you make will go directly towards making this day possible. From the venue to the stage setup, from art materials to travel support for attendees Every penny helps bring this vision to life. More than that, it sends a clear message to LGBTQ+ young people: you are loved, you are valued, and you are not alone.

This is about more than one event. It’s about building confidence, strengthening community, and creating memories that will stay with these young people for the rest of their lives. It’s about showing them that their city stands with them.

Please donate if you can, and share this with others who believe in love, equality, and the power of Pride. Together, we can make history and give Leeds’ LGBTQ+ youth a moment they will never forget.

In solidarity,

The Hangout Youth CIC
