The North East Hub will support your Cause

Sunderland Pride is calling upon members of the public to get involved with the cause in order to make the 2012 event even bigger.
The team is currently looking at possible donations from organizations across the North East including opportunities to sponsor the Pride Stage and March. There are also opportunities for volunteers to help raise funds through collections through the city’s Tuesday night gay scene.
Volunteers are also currently being recruited for their involvement on the day on Sunday 23rd September and roles include Stage Hands, to help with the running of the Pride Stage, and Stewards, who are needed throughout the day.
