A New Chapter for Pride: Honouring the Past, Embracing the Future

As we step into the ninth year of Forest Gate Pride, we acknowledge and celebrate the incredible work and dedication of the committees that came before us. Their dedication to inclusivity, community, and creating a safe space for all has shaped Pride into the powerful and meaningful celebration it is today.

This year marks a transition, with a new committee and a refreshed structure guiding our efforts. We recognise the significance of this change and the responsibility it carries. With deep respect for the legacy we inherit, we are committed to carrying that torch forward—to uphold the values that have always been at the heart of Pride.

We may be new, but our intentions are rooted in the same spirit: to serve, to listen, and to uplift. We are doing our best to honour the path paved by those before us, and we hope to meet the high standards set over the past eight years.

Above all, we remain devoted to making Forest Gate a space where everyone, especially those from marginalised communities, feels seen, supported, and safe. Thank you for your continued trust and patience as we grow into this role. Together, we will continue building a Pride that reflects the strength, diversity, and resilience of our entire community.
