29th June 2019 was a day in the history of our home. 29th June 2019 was when a team of plucky pioneers, after a year full of many euphoric unicorn-propelled highs and also a couple of heart sinking lows, made Great Yarmouth Pride finally happen!

Following the March we will be holding an outdoor event with a main stage full of entertainment. Our stage this year will be called ‘The Alexis St Clair Memorial Stage’ in memory of a great supporter not only of pride, but of Great Yarmouth as a regular holiday destination, Kevin Cantwell, also known as the drag act ‘Alexis St Clair’ who sadly passed earlier this year. The event space will have a multitude of acts throughout the day as well as stalls, food vendors and bars and an exclusive accessible area to view the stage. There will also be other fringe areas with different activities. However, an event such as pride comes at cost. We are fortunate that due to commercial sponsorship and lottery funding we will have secured enough to fund this year’s event but we have to take into account planning and contingency and also funding for further years.

Great Yarmouth and Waveney Pride send love and solidarity to all those in Oslo following last nights apparent terrorist incident in Oslo targeting the LGBT+ community. Incidents like these are the reason we must fight on for equality. Our thoughts and sympathies are with the community in Oslo.(English below)Oslo Pride har fått tydelig råd og anbefaling fra politiet om at paraden, Pride park og andre arrangementer i forbindelse med Oslo Pride avlyses. Oslo Pride anmoder derfor alle som har planlagt å delta på eller se parade om å ikke møte. Alle arrangementer i tilknytning Oslo Pride avlyses.– Nå skal vi følge politiets anbefalinger og ta vare på hverandre. Varme tanker og kjærlighet går til pårørende, skadde og andre berørte. Vi skal snart være stolte og synlige igjen, men akkurat i dag skal vi holde og dele pridemarkeringene hjemmefra, sier Inger Kristin Haugsevje, leder i Oslo Pride og Inge Alexander Gjestvang, leder i FRI – Foreningen for kjønns- og seksualitetsmangfold.Oslo Pride har tett kommunikasjon med politiet og følger situasjonen, og vil informere løpende.❤️🧡💛💚💙💜Oslo Pride has received clear advice and a recommendation from the police that the parade, Pride Park, and any other event in relation to Oslo Pride be cancelled. Oslo Pride therefore implores anyone who had planned to participate in or watch the parade, not to show up. All events in relation to Oslo Pride have been cancelled.We will follow the police’s recommendation and take care of each other. We are sending warm thoughts and love to next of kin, those who were wounded, and others affected. We will soon be proud and visible again, but today, we will share our Pride celebrations from home, says Inger Kristin Haugsevje, leader of Oslo Pride, and Inge Alexander Gjestvang, leader of FRI – the Norwegian Organisation for Sexual and Gender Diversity.Oslo Pride is communicating closely with the police and are following the situation, and will share information continuously.❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 ...

Lauren Bruen part of the community but also works with people in the community too. She wanted to share her work and see if anyone would like to be involved.She is working on a project for young people (10-20 years old) and wanted to ask if anyone 16-20 years would be interested in taking part? 😊She works for a charity called Volunteering Matters and the project is called 'Peer Action Collective', which is a 2-year research project led by 12 peer researchers (who are aged 16-22 years old).The Peer Researchers are asking young people (aged 10-20-year-olds) to be part of our research. The questions will be based on youth violence and crime, and how young people think things could improve across Suffolk, Norfolk, and Essex. From the findings, they are going to implement youth social action within the community to help lower youth violence and crime rates. Participants can take part in one-on-one interviews, Focus Groups, or complete a survey. The questions are on the Causes of Youth Violence and Crime, and how being LGBTQ+ can affect people's experience of youth violence and crime. Participants' answers will help shape our social action, as well as be used on a national level to (hopefully) shape policymaker's decisions! Participants need to be 10-20 years old.They think it is super important for the project to be youth led, as who knows young people better than young people themselves. It also gives young people the opportunity to talk to their peers about issues that they may not bring up to adults.
