🏳️‍🌈 Pride 2026 Highlights - in pictures!🏳️‍⚧️

Wow, what a Pride season that was! Thank you to every person who marched, volunteered, donated, supported and celebrated with us this year. Pride is powered by community, and we're so grateful to everyone who helped make it happen. Stunning!

These moments are filled with q***r hope and joy, but they also remind us why Pride is still needed. Until every LGBTQ+ person can live safely, openly and without barriers, our work continues. Thank you for being by our side. 🌈

Beckett's Story: The Suit That Changed Everything 🙌

A new suit. A proud mum. A moment years in the making. Beckett (he/him) reflects on his journey as a trans masculine and intersex person, the transformative power of family support, and why hope can be found in the smallest acts of affirmation. 🕺

The right outfit can't change the world. But it does change how someone walks through it.
This story is a powerful reminder that support, affirmation, and community can make all the difference.

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of Manchester’s LGBTQIA+ Heritage Trail — an inspiring new project created by volunteers from the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) North West in partnership with LGBT Foundation, Manchester Village Pride, Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) and Manchester City Council.

This landmark trail shines a light on hidden stories from Manchester’s historic Gay Village. Across a series of new place markers, it celebrates how LGBTQIA+ communities reclaimed canal infrastructure and Victorian industrial spaces as places of survival, solidarity, protest, and pride.
