gay, bisexual and trans communities. With a history dating back to 1975, they campaign for a fair and equal society where all LGBT people can achieve their full potential. Every year they serve 40,000 people – amplifying people’s voices, providing support and offering hope.

In the announcement Owain officially opened the organisation’s Manchester Pride At Home celebrations; a series of online events, activities and support to bring the Pride into people’s homes this August Bank Holiday. The weekend programme includes panel talks, online webinars, a fitness session, a makeup tutorial and much more.
