Useful information

Year on year, we create themes for our event. This year’s UK Black Pride theme is ‘Freedom and Justice’. While it is not a requirement that your performance embodies this, you may decide to incorporate or give credence to our theme.

UK Black Pride is a safe space to celebrate diverse sexualities, gender identities, cultures, gender expressions and backgrounds and we foster, represent and celebrate Black LGBTQI+ and QTIPOC culture through education, the arts, cultural events and advocacy. Importantly, UK Black Pride promotes unity and cooperation among LGBTQI+ people of diasporic communities in the UK, as well as their friends and families. As such we abide by the following company ethics:

Respect

Trustworthiness

Fairness

Social & Environmental responsibility

UK Black Pride reserves the right to decline or remove anyone or organisation whose values do not align with our organisation or the communities we serve.

We believe that your participation can significantly contribute to the richness of UK Black Pride 2024. Together, let's create a memorable event that celebrates love, diversity, and unity.
