In this episode we meet George, originally from London he now lives in Scarborough with his pet dog Bruce. PR consultant and Chair of Trustees for Scarborough Pride, George helps a dedicated team of volunteers create an inclusive space for LGBTQ+ people and their allies to celebrate here in our seaside town. We discuss, the queer history of Scarborough and exactly what you can expect from Scarborough Pride 2024. Scarborough Pride has been established to promote Equality and Diversity, and in particular the elimination of discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity of those living in Scarborough and the surrounding areas. We aim to deliver events through the calendar year that appeal to a broad spectrum of the LGBTQ+ community (including younger and older people), as well as delivering an annual Scarborough Pride event, aimed at the LGBTQ+ community and their allies. These activities will promote LGBTQ+ community cohesion, combat isolation and provide an opportunity for organisations providing health and wellbeing services to connect with the LGBTQ+ community.
