2025 PIOF Survey

  • 2025 Pride in Our Future Survey

    Manchester Pride is one of the UK's leading LGBTQ+ charities, and we want to ensure we’re doing everything we can to achieve our vision and support LGBTQ+ people during the Festival and beyond, with year-round campaigns, events and opportunities. But we can’t do this without you. We want to hear what you feel are the issues affecting LGBTQ+ communities, what causes you’d like to see Manchester Pride support in the future, and what you’d like from future Manchester Pride Festivals.
