Hackney PRIDE365
Hackney PRIDE365 is a year-round programme of events and cultural activities led by Hackney’s LGBTQIA+ community.
The programme supports, celebrates and provides a platform to Hackney’s LGBTQIA+ communities, artists, and allies.
The year kicks off strong by celebrating LGBT+ History Month in February, then parading with Hackney Council at Pride in London in June and marking Transgender Awareness Week and Transgender Day of Remembrance in November… plus, much more!
Hackney PRIDE365 creates space for LGBTQIA+ voices, stories, and creativity to be seen and heard throughout the year. If you want to be part of PRIDE365, we have an annual community grants fund that is usually launched around June. Please check back here for more details!
See below for who we have funded in our most recent round of grants and what events are coming up!
