NEWCASTLE PRIDE KNEADS YOU!

Newcastle Pride launches Proud Bake Off fundraiser ahead of 2026 festival.

Following a call to action last week, Newcastle Pride has unveiled its latest fundraising effort, and this time, it’s delicious!

Workplaces, families, friends and community groups are being encouraged to take part in the Proud Bake Off throughout Pride Month in June, helping to raise vital funds for this year’s Newcastle Pride celebrations.

The fundraising drive seeks to ensure that this year’s Pride festival can continue to deliver a safe, accessible, and high-quality event for the LGBTQIA+ community as planned, whilst ensuring that artists, freelancers, and community contributors are valued and paid.

Participants are invited to host their own bake sales, cake competitions, or coffee mornings in June, with all proceeds supporting the festival, which will take place on July 25th and 26th.

As part of the campaign, Newcastle Pride is encouraging individuals, community groups and businesses to support the event in a variety of ways, including donations, workplace fundraising, sponsorship opportunities, workshops and talks alongside participation in

The march itself, all to help raise the much-needed £10,000 to fund this year’s celebrations.

If cakes aren’t your thing but you still want to help Newcastle Pride, you can donate via our JustGiving here:
