The search is on for new trustees and volunteers to become part of Team Isle of Wight Pride. Work is underway for this year’s Pride celebration on July 15, along with activities over the weekend and throughout the year.
Last year, IW Pride returned to Ryde after a two-year break with a successful three-day event including a parade, community village and entertainment.
Trustee, Andy Newman, said: “Isle of Wight Pride is made possible by a small core team of loyal volunteers and trustees, many who have full time employment and responsibilities, supporting us in their spare time.
“As the saying goes, many hands make light work, and we seek to increase the team and bring new skills and ideas to events and how we support the community all year round.
“Everyone is welcome and all help on the day or lead up to the big event are all appreciated. We particularly welcome interest from potential trustees.”
His fellow trustee, Laura Fraser, added: “Being part of Team Pride promises to be a rewarding experience for everyone and offers some amazing opportunities to get involved. Every offer of help counts, and IW Pride can help find a role to match people’s skills.”
