We need your help to fill the streets of Hamilton…
‘Pride is a celebration but also an important movement. Visibility, voice and a platform for our community are key goals of this first Pride in the region. A march isn’t part of this 1st year’s plans, instead we’ve designed the event to include a large area to fill in the centre of Hamilton. Because we have this space, we’re going to need everyone’s support by coming along and helping us fill the streets with love, joy and Pride on 29th July. Bring your pride flags and banners and get set for a great day in support of Pride.
We would like to thank EventScotland and The National Lottery community fund for their support.’ Malcolm Thomas-Harley.
