Help our Tree of Pride grow

As part of this year's Pride celebrations, we'll be welcoming the return of the Tree of Pride on 20th-21st July.

This public art piece creates a powerful message – and you can contribute! We encourage you to drop by during the weekend of 20th-21st July and write a pledge to support the LGBTQIA+ community, which will then be tied to one of the tree's branches. The tree will grow with pledges as it travels up and down the UK, until it's in full bloom as a symbol of love and hope.

Make a pledge. Be the change.

Below are some ideas to help inspire you with your message of support to the LGBTQIA+ community:

I’m going to read up about LGBT history to expand my knowledge of the subject
Love is love
Be bold, be brave, be wonderful…be you!
You’re perfect just the way you are
I’m going to remind my LGBTQIA+ family that they’re loved
I’ll be at the next Leeds Pride festival – see you there!
Let’s normalise pronouns! I’m going to add mine to my social media bio

Support Leeds Pride

This year, the fabulous Leeds Pride festival takes place on Sunday 21st July. This is Yorkshire's biggest and brightest Pride celebration, with a spectacular parade and heaps of live entertainment. When you're ready to refuel, why not swing by Trinity Leeds for dinner and drinks? And don't forget to contribute to our Tree of Pride!

Leeds Pride is a registered charity run by dedicated volunteers. There are various ways to support the team, including online donations (which help keep the Pride festival free to attend). See how you can help by visiting the official website.

Angels of Freedom

Angels of Freedom is a volunteer-led community project promoting safety and social opportunities for the LGBTIA+ community in Leeds, and supported by Leeds City Council, British Transport Police and West Yorkshire Police.

We believe that the Angels of Freedom really deserve wings, which is why we've partnered with them for Pride to help raise donations.

Switchboard

Switchboard is the national LGBTQIA+ helpline and a safe space for anyone to discuss sexuality, gender identity, sexual health, emotional well-being and more. You can call the Switchboard team on 0800 0119 100 or visit the website >>
