Volunteer with us

To make this much-loved event happen every July we need volunteer organisers.

Together we’ll celebrate 19 incredible years of Pride in 2007 – and can then start dreaming even bigger as we look ahead to our 21st in 2029!

Our pledge remains the same: Norwich Pride will always be free, run entirely by volunteers, and community led.

If you love Pride and want to help make it shine, this may be your moment to get involved. You could be part of that team helping bring the pride to Norwich.

A little bit about us

Norwich Pride is a group of friendly, creative, enthusiastic volunteers from the local LGBTQIA+ community.

We organise Norwich Pride on the last Saturday each July. A free and community led event that helps to ensure Norwich is a city where everyone feels safe and proud to be themselves.

Volunteer opportunities are worthwhile and give us all the chance to help important causes in our local community, but you, the volunteer, will also gain from donating your time. Volunteering can help you make friends, grow your CV/career, develop a new skill set, and of course, make a difference.

Note on location: Norwich Pride is rooted in the local community and members of the Organising Team will need to be available for some centrally based face-to-face meetings as well as event preparation nearer the time. Our preference, therefore, is for local volunteers from Norfolk, Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire.

The Organising team, who have overall responsibility for organising the celebrations each year that make Norwich Pride happen.

The Delivery team, who have specific tasks like maintaining the website, managing the Pride Shop, and looking after our social media accounts.

And the Pride Makers: all the stewards, steward team leaders, photographers, and everyone who works in the Pride shop,on the day and in the immediate lead-up to the Norwich Pride celebrations.
