With tens of thousands of visitors attending Manchester Pride's Big Weekend and even more lining the streets of Manchester to watch the parade, sponsoring Manchester Pride is a fantastic opportunity to showcase your brand to the LGBT community and to help us raise much-needed funds for LGBT community groups throughout the region.

Over the past seven years Manchester Pride has raised over £780,000 for LGBT and HIV charities in the North West and is currently one of the biggest pride events in the UK. Previous performers have included Gossip, Human League, Roisin Murphy, Peter Andre, Bananarama, Alphabeat, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Boy George, Heather Small and Marc Almond.

Companies involved in Manchester EuroPride 2003 and Manchester Pride 2004-9 have reported an increase in customer perception of their organisation as gay-friendly; an increase in staff morale; an increase in turnover; and all achieved with a big dollop of fun.....and many of them are coming back for more!

We are delighted to announce that sponsorship opportunities are open for Manchester Pride 2010. If you interested in sponsoring the festival or hearing more about the opportunities available, please contact Mark Fletcher

“We were delighted to work with Manchester Pride for the first time in 2008 and then again in 2009. At every step of the way we were fully involved and had full confidence in the Pride team to deliver our requirements. We will certainly be looking at building our relationship with Manchester Pride in 2010 and beyond.”

“It was brilliant to be involved in Manchester Pride 2009 and to be a part of raising money for charity. The event was also a fantastic opportunity to raise awareness of The Co-operative brand right here in our home city and to demonstrate the business's support of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. The Manchester Pride team were a pleasure to work with and following our participation, the positive feedback The Co-operative business has received from its colleagues, customers and members has been tremendous.”
