Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to our team and the community that attend the event. Scunthorpe Pride is for EVERYONE, it doesn't matter who you are, as long as you are kind, accepting, respectful and supportive of others. Last year we saw over 15,000 visitors throughout the day.

Scunthorpe Pride 2026 Needs Your Help! We have some difficult news to share with our community. For the first time since we started, Scunthorpe Pride has not been awarded the National Lottery funding that has been our backbone every year. This is a massive blow to our 2026 plans.

Our mission has always been to keep Pride a completely free, non-ticketed event so that every single person in our town can celebrate diversity and love without a price tag. But right now, that mission is at risk.

⚠️ The Reality

Without the lottery grant, we are facing a £20,000 shortfall. To put it bluntly: If we don't raise this money, Scunthorpe Pride 2026 will either be significantly stripped back or may not go ahead at all. Pride 2025 cost over £42,000.

The costs for stage, security, fencing, insurance and acts are rising and we refuse to compromise on making this a safe, high-quality event for North Lincolnshire. The event is volunteer run and Scunthorpe Pride is a registered charity.

How You Can Help

We aren't giving up yet. We are working around the clock to find new funding, but we need the "Steel Town" spirit more than ever.

Sponsorship: Are you a local business owner? Do you work for a company that values diversity and local community? We have sponsorship packages ranging from small supporter tiers to headline slots.

Corporate Connections: If you know a company that likes to support Scunthorpe causes (big or small!) please tag them in the comments or ask them to reach out to us at [email redacted].uk

Donate: Every pound counts. If everyone who attended last year donated just £3, we would smash our goal. You can donate below or for larger donations please contact us.
