The Love and Unity project will once again be giving our free hugs, stickers and lollies at Barnsley Pride! We're all about spreading the love, making people feel valued and encouraging human connections.
We know coming out can be difficult for some people, not everyone is accepted for who they are. Hopefully we can show a little love and acceptance.
We'd love to welcome fellow huggers, or if you can't be there but would like to donate, funds will go towards giveaway items for the day.
Any extra funds will be given to an LGBT charity (specific charity TBC, let us know if there's one close to your heart!)
Anyone who wants to join in with 'free hugs' will be given guidelines before the event. Hugging will always be done in public. Huggers should be guided by the other party, do not hug someone who doesn't want one!
