“To be chosen as this year’s host city for UK Pride is a huge boost for Doncaster and fantastic recognition for all the great work that the Pride team have done over the years.”
Doncaster Pride, a registered charity, was established in 2007 and run by a small team of volunteers, has delivered an annual event in the city ever since.
A spokesman said: “Pride events are important as they raise the profile of the LGBTQ+ community, celebrate the culture and heritage and campaign for much needed support to bring about inclusion and end discrimination.”
