Sunderland LGBT+ Network
ABOUT US
Sunderland LGBT+ Network has grown significantly since its inception and in 2011, when it held the first Pride Event in Sunderland. It became Sunderland Pride Group in 2015, as it was felt that a Pride Festival year did not meet the community’s diverse needs, and a further change in 2020 Sunderland LGBT+ Network was established, to meet the growing needs of the community.
