Salford ’s Pink Picnic Pride celebration is set to return this Saturday - but it very easily could’ve been unable to.
Like many other grassroots community Pride events, the Pink Picnic has always been dependent on donations and goodwill from the people around them to make it happen.
And following a particularly challenging period during the pandemic, the organisers ran a fundraiser to ensure one of the most fundamental tenets of their event - that it stays free and accessible to all - could continue.
