Unique events such as Torfaen Pride without your support.

Pride may only occur once a year, but the communities that it serves exist every day. As pride ends, those attending should be able to return to their daily lives with a new sense of community and belonging and continue to feel as safe as they did when they attended pride. 

We hope that by establishing a pride event in Torfaen, that we can start to develop a sense of community that continues beyond the pride event and build a resilient LGBT+ community in Torfaen.

Our Pride sponsorship packages provide businesses and organisations the opportunity to support the local LGBT+ community in delivering this event as well as:

  • Increase brand exposure via social media platforms.
  • Give organisations the chance to support a unique local event.
  • Generate positive PR for your organisation.
  • Create the possibility to influence how people perceive your organisation.
  • Provide the opportunity to engage and interact with customers and clients.
  • Support the growth of Torfaen and enable it to become a more accepting place to live.
  • Help to meet your social value goals.

In the interests of transparency, is it expected that Torfaen Pride will cost approximately £22,000 to put on. We have set an initial budget for specific areas in which we have built flex into so as to make savings as and when needed. The budget areas are Entertainment, A Safe Event, An Inclusive and Accessible Event, Marketing and Promoting the Event and Other Costs. Broken down, each of these areas cost:

  • Entertainment £8,460
  • A Safe Event £10,423
