Support Halton Pride

Hi,

My name is Hayley Smith from North West HIV Support and I'm raising funds to introduce Halton's very first Pride event.

The event will provide a welcoming, safe and family friendly environment to enable all event goers to celebrate and embrace Halton’s diversity. Expect a whole host of entertainment across the weekend across three independent areas set amongst the grounds of Halton Castle. A full entertainment lineup is due to be announced in the coming weeks but expect live music, drag bingo, DJs, arts activities, kids entertainment, and a candlelit vigil to round off the weekend.

A GoFundMe page has been set up to allow residents and local businesses to contribute to making the event as memorable and successful as possible. Any funding will be used to cover infrastructure and other event-related costs.

All proceeds from this year’s event will be used to scale up Halton Pride 2023 and to allow for the introduction of other community-focused Pride projects and activities throughout the year. The intention for 2023’s event is to introduce a parade and host a larger number of attendees across the weekend while also attracting some big-name performers.

Any support you can afford would really be appreciated.

Many thanks,

Hayley
