The LCR Pride Foundation has announced the incredibly difficult decision to cancel of this year’s Pride in Liverpool.

As this news will come as a disappointment to many, Sahir is launching a Queer Town Hall – a space for the LGBTQ+ community to come together, reflect, and imagine what could still be possible. Rather than dwelling on what’s been lost, the Town Hall invites positive and constructive dialogue on how we might rebuild Pride from the ground up – together.

These conversations will be facilitated, forward-looking, and intentionally free from blame. The focus is clear: what can we build, as a community, with the resources and creativity we already have?

Two Opportunities to Join the Conversation:

• In-person session
  🗓️ Monday 16 June, 6–8pm
  📍 LoveLocks Coffee Shop
  🎟️ Register here

• Online session
  🗓️ Thursday 19 June, 3–4.30pm

Spaces are limited, and registration is essential. To ensure a wide range of voices are heard, groups and organisations are kindly asked to nominate one representative to attend.

“We can take Pride into our own hands – and do it together.”
