News: Grampian Pride – Still Time to Volunteer!

A few weeks ago we posted a story about the first ever Grampian Pride event (26th May at Beach Blvd, Aberdeen).  There is still time to get involved and volunteer to help.!With over 19 hours of planned event time. There is in total 223 volunteer roles needed on the day and these could range from 1 hour to 6. You can do as little or as much as you want, in the words of a superstore that will remain nameless, Every little really does help.

With over 19 hours of planned event time. There are 223 volunteer roles needed on the day and these could range from 1 hour to 6. You can do as little or as much as you want.

Every individual has their strengths and weaknesses, this is a great opportunity for individuals to contribute to the future of the LGBT+ community in Grampian whilst sharing, building and learning skills. Not to mention being a part of a huge team and meeting new people.

If you can spare a couple of hours at Grampian Pride events, or even help with the set-up/take-down either side of the 26th May they would be very grateful.
