Fundraising
Proud 2 b Parents needs your support to keep providing life-changing services to LGBT+ families across Greater Manchester and beyond.
Fundraise For Proud 2 b Parents
Fundraising can be fun—and it can fit your style!
Host a quiz, gig, themed party, or sweepstake during a big event, bake creatively, give something up for a week or month, or ask friends to support Proud 2 b Parents instead of giving birthday presents. Schools, colleges, and universities can get involved with bake sales, dress-down days, or other creative ideas. Whatever you choose—running, dancing, gaming, or hosting—every effort helps LGBTQ+ families thrive. Recently, some young supporters ran a charity raffle at their Boxing Day family get-together and raised £50 for Proud 2 b Parents.

Workplace Charity Nominations
Did you know that many workplaces offer charity nomination schemes where employees can put forward a good cause to receive a donation?
If yours does, please consider nominating Proud 2 b Parents. Recently, one parent, Nicola, raised an amazing £500 through her workplace, Wates, an amount that covers the cost of five monthly get-togethers, each supporting up to 180 people and helping LGBT+ families build connections, friendships, and vital peer support.
Nicola shared that the process was straightforward, involving just a few emails and forms, and encourages others to explore what charity nomination schemes might be available where they work.
