Manchester Pride 2011, a Message from GHT

posted: 23/08/2011

Is it really that time of year again? Manchester Pride is fast approaching and there's only a few days now until the Big Weekend.

For the last few months we have been preparing for what we hope will be another successful and memorable campaign. This year our campaign - to tie in with the ‘Best of British’ theme of Pride 2011 - is ‘I Heart GHT’.

We decided on our slogan earlier in the year and it may look familiar to you given the recent riots which unfolded recently in Manchester and across the country.

Shortly after these events the ‘I Heart Mcr’ campaign took off. We fully support this campaign and what it stands for and we're proud to be part of this fantastic city.

We hope that our 'I Heart GHT' campaign complements the other similar campaigns that are around at the moment. We want to make sure that everyone knows about our services and how proud we are of them!

We look forward to seeing you on the Parade, at our stall in the Expo or at the Candlelit Vigil in Sackville Gardens on Bank Holiday Monday.

Have a happy, peaceful and safe Manchester Pride 2011 - from all of us at GHT.

Take part in the Pride Parade!

We're looking for people to join us for our 25th Anniversary Silver Party Entry in the Manchester Pride Parade on Saturday 28th August 2010.

This is a great opportunity to have fun, meet people, but most importantly to show support for people living with HIV in the North West

You will need to meet us at the Liverpool Road assembly point (off Deansgate) at 11:30 am on Saturday 28th August.

Please wear silver! And the more fabulous / glamorous / eccentric the better!

If you do not want to go in costume you can wear one of our 25th Anniversary t-shirts.

Please note spaces on the lorry will be limited and so will be given to people with mobility problems first - if you need one of these places please let me know on kath@ght.org.uk or 0161 274 5658 as soon as possible so I can ensure we can accommodate that.

If you do not let me know then please assume you will be walking (or dancing!) alongside the lorry.
