‼️ 📢 26 DAYS TIL PRIDE ON SEA 📢‼️

Pride on Sea is rapidly approaching us and we wanted to give a huge thank you to everyone who has supported us this year so far!

From the fantastic folks who showed interest in having a stall with us (and their patience while we get everything organised), to the wonderful acts who have reached out to us and are helping to fill our lineup (watch this space 👀), to the folks who have very kindly donated to our crowdfunder! We consider ourselves incredibly lucky to be in a position where we can celebrate the lgbtqia+ community in Highbridge and Burnham-on-Sea, and further afield!

Saying this, we still need your help to make Pride on Sea happen and be the best it can!

Our crowdfunder is still open for another 19 days. Everything that is donated to it goes to ensuring that this Pride will be a fantastic event for everyone involved! It will help us fund our acts, our stage and our security!

The link to our crowdfunder is: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/pride-on-sea-highbridge-and-burnham-on-sea

We are also still looking for sponsors! Anything and everything would absolutely help us out, even just a poster in the window! If you are interested in sponsoring Pride on Sea, please email us at [email protected]

Once again, we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We've been working hard to get Pride on Sea ready for everyone, but we couldnt have done any of what we have already without you!

We need your help!

📣 WE NEED YOUR HELP 📣

We're looking for sponsors to help us bring pride back to Burnham-on-Sea! Not for just this year, but for future years to come!
We know that pride is important, and that it must continue going. Pride is a place where we can be ourselves without judgement, celebrate who we are and who we love, and spread as much joy as we can. But we need YOUR HELP to keep pride going. Together, we're stronger.

If you would like to sponsor Pride On Sea, please email us at [email protected]

Below is also our crowdfunder of where you can donate, but also share it around.

It breaks our hearts to hear about what’s happened at Berlin Pride, and we wish to share our love and support to everyone that was involved in this horrific attack. ❤️

We know we’ve been quiet but the time has come to announce why.

Bridgwater Community Pride have teamed up with Pride on Sea this year to help them put a pride on in Burnham-on-Sea again!

All of the people behind both Bridgwater Community Pride and Pride On Sea are volunteers working hard to bring a safer space for the community, and so you can imagine how much time, effort and energy it takes to put a pride on. So together, we hope we can continue to bring these safer spaces for you all. Because sticking together is the most important thing.

We will continue to update you on everything but make sure you’re following Pride On Sea as well to see what’s happening.

Thank you all for the continued support and we hope you join us this year in Burnham-on-Sea!

With pride,

Bridgwater Community Pride 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈❤️

P.S. don’t worry! Pride in Bridgwater will still be a thing but we’re hoping to alternate between the towns each year!

A huge happy pride month to you all!

We hope that you know that you’re so loved, wanted and appreciated every second of every day.

We understand that the fight has become harder but we promise you that we’re by your sides every single step of the way! You are brilliant and you deserve to exist in this world just as anyone else does.

Keep shining your light and show the world how wonderful you are! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️❤️

I know it has been very quiet on here (things will become clear as to why soon!), but this has to be shared.

We will fight with you and for you, and we stand with you. 🏳️‍⚧️❤️

We want to take a moment to send love and solidarity to our Trans, Non-Binary, and intersex community tonight. We know you are hurting, we know you are scared, but know that you are not alone.

This afternoon the new draft EHRC guidance was put before parliament. It’s 342 pages long and everyone will need time to review and process it. It's worrying, but our community will once again rally together to ensure we continue to fight back. There will be a 40 day consultation period and conversation that needs to be had both in terms of examining and pushing back and for what happens next.

We urge you to write to your local MP and ask them to ensure there is scrutiny and push for an inclusive approach. Organisations and businesses should avoid rushing into making any changes whilst the guidance is reviewed, as a clear reminder - exclusion is not the mandatory way forward.

Tomorrow (Friday) at 5pm Trans Educator and Speaker Robyn Newark and Barrister Oscar Davies will be doing a live talk to give a broad overview of the new guidance, discussing what this means, and answering questions and concerns and talking about what happens now. https://www.instagram.com/nonbinarybarrister/

We will continue to share information and locally you can also follow Trans Pride Bristol and the Bristol LGBTQ+ Coalition for more updates, and for how you can get involved to support over the coming weeks. Our website's directory page also has more local support services and groups here for you.

If you need any support right now Switchboard LGBT+ Support Line are here for you and open from 10am to 10pm
