We were devastated last year when we heard that we had lost Richie.

Richie was a large part of Notts Pride and he implemented changes that made a difference to our organisation - we miss him and we don't want to forget him.

A year has passed and, after speaking to Richie's parents we decided to set up the Richie Clay Notts Pride Fund.

This fund will honour Richie's passion for LGBTQ+ equality but also his love of Pride.

50% of what we raise will be shared across local LGBTQ+ charities in Notts who support our community and their mental health.

50% will go to Notts Pride to ensure our Charity builds a sustainable future and keep Notts Pride free for everyone.

Richie will always be in our hearts and we will continue to honour him at Notts Pride. Rest in Pride our friend.
