Story

Eastbourne Pride, unlike many other Pride days is a free community event and is entirely self funded, replying on fund-raising, donations and corporate sponsorship. To host the day, Bourne Out faces an annual cost of circa £25000. We are proud to have kept the first 2 years free, unlike many other Prides, but this year, we are at risk of having to charge due to a shortfall in funding. If we are forced to charge, the local Council will seek an additional fee of £1.50 per ticket sold on top of our regular hire costs therefore potentially making the event potentially financially untenable.

Your valuable donation can help keep this event free, allowing the Bourne Out group to continue hosting what they are proud to present as a fantastic day of entertainment, inclusion, fun and awareness.

About the charity

Eastbourne Pride is entering it's 3rd year and has proved to be a highly popular event encompassing families, couples, individuals and groups from Eastbourne and beyond. 2019 sees the 50th anniversary of Stonewall, making this years event more important than ever. The event is run and managed by the Bourne Out group, a registered charity (1176622) which aims to promote equality and diversity in the local community whilst also providing a social calendar and safe space for local LGBTQ members to meet, chat and make new friends. Bourne Out ventures include the Pride event, youth group, trans group and drop in café, all of which provide an outlet for LGBTQ identifying people and their families to share their experiences, support each other and get help or assistance when needed.
