Volunteers are needed for this year's Milton Keynes Pride Festival

Sunday, 15 August 2021 16:39

The callout has been issued with less than one month to go until the popular event returns to Campbell Park.

Thousands of people are set to descend upon the festival on Saturday 11th September, as last year's celebration was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Milton Keynes Pride Festival is a free day-long event full of music, comedy, food, drink, guided meditation, yoga, and different workshops.

There will also be a community area that has various services including information on adoption, sexual health, mental health and HIV.

All proceeds made from the event go back into the LGBTQ+ community and also fund the following year's event.

And because the event does not cost visitors a penny, organisers are seeking volunteers to offer up their time to help on the day.

• VOLUNTEERS WANTED •

We have various exciting volunteer roles for you to get involved with on the day of the Festival.
