IMPORTANT UPDATE: Scunthorpe Pride 2026 Needs Your Help! We have some difficult news to share with our community. For the first time since we started, Scunthorpe Pride has not been awarded the National Lottery funding that has been our backbone every year. This is a massive blow to our 2026 plans.
Our mission has always been to keep Pride a completely free, non-ticketed event so that every single person in our town can celebrate diversity and love without a price tag. But right now, that mission is at risk.
⚠️ The Reality
Without the lottery grant, we are facing a £20,000 shortfall. To put it bluntly: If we don’t raise this money, Scunthorpe Pride 2026 will either be significantly stripped back or may not go ahead at all.
The costs for stages, security, insurance and acts are rising and we refuse to compromise on making this a safe, high-quality event for North Lincolnshire.
🤝 How You Can Help
We aren’t giving up yet. We are working around the clock to find new funding, but we need the “Steel Town” spirit more than ever.
Sponsorship: Are you a local business owner? Do you work for a company that values diversity and local community? We have sponsorship packages ranging from small supporter tiers to headline slots.
Corporate Connections: If you know a company that likes to support Scunthorpe causes (big or small!) please tag them in the comments or ask them to reach out to us at team@scunthorpepride.co.uk
Donate: Every pound counts. If everyone who attended last year donated just £3, we would smash our goal. You can donate below or for larger donations please contact us.
Share This Post: Even if you can’t give money, your voice is powerful. Share this to your stories and social media and other community groups.
Scunthorpe Pride belongs to you. Let’s make sure 2026 still happens, bigger and prouder than ever.
If everyone that attended last year gave us £3, we’d have enough to cover the whole event.
Scunthorpe Pride 2025, cost over £42,000
Scunthorpe Pride is a FREE entry inclusive event for all of the community and beyond. It’s family friendly and supports community and bringing people together. Our volunteers work around the clock to provide a free day festival that brings the community together and provides numerous activities, opportunities and live entertainment to the town centre.
Please consider contributing towards the event if you are coming this year or have attended previously.
