DONATE TO PRIDE
Forest Gate Pride 2025 is happening 27–28 June! Join us in making Pride better and brighter than ever before.
And this year—given the challenges facing our community—we want Forest Gate Pride to be as inclusive, bold and powerful as a Pride celebration can be, and for that to happen we need your help.
We know that visibility matters. That’s why, even after our Pride flags were repeatedly defaced, we’re standing stronger than ever before. United in solidarity, joy and defiance, we’re creating a Two-day celebration of everything that makes our community powerful and proud.
This year marks the ninth Forest Gate Pride! The movement has been galvanised with a new committee, bringing fresh energy and fierce commitment to our community *right here* *right now*. We are building on the legacy of those who came before us to create a pride that uplifts every part of our community, especially our most marginalised voices.
This year’s Pride weekend is packed with colour, connection and community:
Friday 27 June: Kick off the weekend with a warm and welcoming pre-pride social at Forest Gate Library, including community-focussed talks, socialising, food and drinks.
Saturday 28 June: Woodgrange Market bursts into life with LGBTQ+ stalls, local artists and community groups, followed by a night of music, dancing and queer joy at the Forest Tavern.
Your donation will help us pay performers, cover event costs, meet accessibility needs and keep Pride free and open to all.
Whether you can give £5 or £50, you’ll be helping to create a space where everyone—especially queer people of colour, trans people and working-class LGBTQ+ Londoners—feels safe, seen and celebrated.
Donate today and help make Forest Gate Pride louder, prouder and more inclusive than ever.
P.S if you are open to joining us in building a beautiful, resilient and diverse community in Forest Gate and the surrounding areas, please get in touch. Community is built by all of us and your voice matters.
