  A wide variety of stalls; from face painting to stand out from the crowd to pin badges and of course finally picking up a flag that you feel validates or represents you and how you may define. 
• Local and National LGBTQ+ services 
  It is vital that Pride in Surrey can effectively signpost those who may need support or guidance to the services that are available to them. We signpost through our event, through our Pride Hub and through our Text to Talk - (/Not Alone) service. 

Pride in Surrey encourages the LGBTQ+ Community and its Allies to stand united, in solidarity, for those who simply cannot be who they truly are OR love who they truly love world-wide.

  As a not for profit CIC (Community Interest Company), we listen closely to the needs of our intersectional community and offer many of our services 365 days a year whilst remaining mindful of the evolving needs of those who may need us and the ever-changing influential factors of the world's stance on LGBTQ+ human rights.
  
  As volunteer led organisation we instil our values at every opportunity. These are to Celebrate, Educate and Connect the LGBTQ+ Community and its allies whilst ensuring we continue to stand together as one community recognising the importance of positive equity surrounding intersectionality.
