Reading Pride was founded in 2003. We are a registered charity run solely by volunteers, aiming to promote equality and diversity. We want to advance education and work towards eliminating discrimination in relation to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) people in Reading and across the Thames Valley. Reading Pride is best known for the annual festival we stage. Our free-to-enter event celebrates our local community and has made significant progress in encouraging the promotion of LGBT equality.
