Each year, we bring the vibrant spirit of Manchester Pride Festival to our younger community members, offering a unique and inclusive programme of events crafted just for them. Youth Pride MCR events provide a nurturing environment where young people can explore diverse identities, develop new skills, forge meaningful friendships, and express themselves authentically in a safe space.
Tailored for 14-18-year-olds, Youth Pride MCR is all about building confidence, fostering connections, and providing a joyful creative space for young people to flourish. At Manchester Pride Festival 2023, we teamed up with two incredible youth charities, AKT and The Proud Trust, to ensure every Youth Pride MCR attendee felt seen, safe, supported, and celebrated.
“It’s been an amazing experience and has made me come out of my shell a lot! Alex and Jana have given me lots of confidence to be who I want to be and not be ashamed.” - Youth Pride attendee
