Pride Glasgow
Scotland’s largest LGBTI festival takes place this weekend, the incredible Pride Glasgow celebrations, with a massive march through the city centre on Saturday. Pride Glasgow was established in 2004 as Pride Scotia (Glasgow), it became a charity in 2012 and the event has been run every year since. In 2015 they established the Pride Life Programme, aimed at engaging volunteers all year, and in 2016 the Pride Community Project was established, which will manage the Pride Fund and support, develop and engage the LGBTI community in Scotland.
We’ll have a special package from Saturday’s march to share with you.
