HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED IN MANCHESTER PRIDE?

Pride is a great support for the charities and groups it benefits. The profile it has here in Manchester says a huge amount about the city’s inclusion of the LGBT community, and joining the board gives me a unique way to support the work Pride does. The team does a fantastic job in the face of considerable challenges and I am looking forward to helping them to continue doing so.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A BOARD MEMBER?

Since April 2011

WHAT ARE YOUR ASPIRATIONS FOR MANCHESTER PRIDE?

Manchester Pride is part of the fabric of Manchester. The annual parade is a fantastic event that includes people from all backgrounds and ages and it’s this sort of inclusion that is at the core of Pride. I’d love to see this continued – alongside, of course, the money raised for LGBT charities – and become even bigger. Manchester Pride has received international recognition, which is a huge endorsement for Manchester and, in particular, its LGBT community. I am immensely proud to be part of it.
