LCR Pride Foundation has revealed its annual theme for 2022/23 after two years without in-person Pride celebrations being held in the city region.
The new theme, Come Together, celebrates the return of the charity’s flagship event Pride in Liverpool and the annual March with Pride, both which take place on Saturday, July 30. The charity explained that 'come together' speaks to the need for the LGBT+ community and its allies to unite, take action and be heard on issues such as hate crimes, the exclusion of trans and non-binary people from the proposed conversion therapy ban and continued discrimination.
As part of the campaign, the foundation will continue to provide a platform for LGBT+ news, interviews and events through its newsdesk and weekly newsletter. It will also continue to grow its 'You’re Safe Here' training programme, which has already seen more than 70 businesses and venues trained to know how respond to hate crimes and incidents, and deliver further community consultations, like those launched in Halton and Sefton, to ascertain the wants and needs of the community across the six boroughs.
