Whilst one of the Epping Forest Pride team members was working within the community mental health sector, it was identified that the area of LGBTQIA+ inclusion and community connection was lacking, and in turn the well-being of those within the LGBTQIA+ community. This sparked the birth of Epping Forest Pride.
Over the last 18 months we have had a variety of events bringing people together. From coffee socials, to bouldering, karaoke, pool parties and community wild walks. And whilst we aim to create events that are varied and accessible, we are aware that not all people are able to commit to events due to costs.
Well-being should not be exclusive to monetary limiting factors. So we are running this crowd-funder to have as a combination kitty for promotion of events, outreach and to support those who would like to come to said events but would be otherwise unable to attend if not financially supported.
We would love to continue to see EFP grow as it has so beautifully over the last 18 months.
If you feel able to donate, it would be gratefully received. If you are unable to donate, please share and spread the word.
Many thanks
The Epping Forest Pride Team
