Liverpool Pride will be held this year despite originally being cancelled.
Organisers LCR Pride Foundation confirmed last month they had postponed the annual event owing to ‘significant financial and organisational challenges’.
However the city’s oldest LGBTQ+ charity Sahir House has taken up the mantle and will run the event which is still scheduled to take place on Saturday, July 26.
The move has been backed by the LCR Pride Foundation, who claimed they have been ‘carefully listening to the community’s response’ since June’s cancellation.
“Thanks to the passion, determination and sheer graft of local artists, activists, organisations and allies, we’ve turned things around to make Pride happen,” said Sahir House.
“This year, we’re proudly calling it Liverpool’s Pride – with an apostrophe and an ‘s’ – because this Pride belongs to all of us.
“It’s Liverpool’s moment to come together, celebrate loudly, protest proudly, and reclaim our Pride with love, resilience and joy.”
