Torbay Pride

Torbay Pride has been set up to bring equality and diversity back to Torbay, for over 10 years Torbay has not held a Pride event. Many younger people have moved from the area for university and not revisited or returned due to there not being a community that is safe and welcoming. Torbay Pride aim to change attitudes' toward differences in equality and diversity and make the Torbay area a great place to live, visit and thrive in.
