Croydon Pride

11/10/2026

Today we celebrate authenticity, not pressure.

Whether you're out to everyone, a few people, or nobody at all, there is no right or wrong way to come out. Your identity is yours to share, if, when and how you choose.

Happy National Coming Out Day.

Bi Visibility Week 2026!

This week is about celebrating bisexual people, raising awareness, challenging misconceptions, and recognising the important contributions of bi people across our community.

Visibility matters because everyone deserves to feel seen, respected, and included.

At Croydon Pride, we're proud to stand alongside our bisexual community and reaffirm a simple message:
You are valid. You belong. You deserve to be celebrated.

Join us in celebrating Bi Visibility Week and helping create a world where everyone can live openly and authentically.

WE’RE HIRING: Communications & Marketing Trustee!

Are you a TikTok pro, Insta guru, Mailchimp wizard, or marketing strategist (or willing to learn) who wants to give back to South London’s LGBTQIA+ community, this one could be for you.

We’re looking for a creative, passionate storyteller to join our Board and lead our external voice!

The Details:
Commitment: Approx. 3 hours per week (flexible/remote, with higher intensity in the run-up to the summer festival).
The Role: Shape our digital strategy, create inclusive multimedia content, and run major campaigns for our flagship festival and year-round events.

Croydon Pride is committed to diversity. We particularly welcome applications from women, Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic individuals, trans and non-binary people, and those with disabilities, who are currently underrepresented on our board.

We value lived experience and a passion for inclusivity just as much as professional backgrounds. Ready to make a real impact?
