Happy Pride Month! At Xscape, it’s very important to us that everyone feels safe and welcome all year round. We stand united in Pride with the LGBTQIA+ community and against discrimination. We see you. Read on to find out how we’re celebrating Pride 2024 and learn how we can all support our local LGBTQIA+ community
As part of this year's Pride celebrations, we'll be welcoming the Tree of Pride on 14th-15th September.
This public art piece creates a powerful message – and you can contribute! We encourage you to drop by during the weekend of 14th-15th September and write a pledge to support the LGBTQIA+ community, which will then be tied to one of the tree's branches. The tree will grow with pledges as it travels up and down the UK, until it's a blooming symbol of love and hope.
Make a pledge. Be the change.
