Help Proud Futures Reach Their Funding Goal!

22 Feb 2026

With a further roll back in LGBTQ+ rights and budget cuts across the third and public sector, Proud Futures' consultancy work that helps fund their other projects has been severely impacted, along with a rise in running costs and a reduction in funding. 

16 incredible people are about to embark on their LGBTQ+ Changemaker journey in March and Proud Futures are fundraising £5,000 to ensure the programme is accessible for participants which includes things like travel, accommodation (where needed), food and drink, course materials, speakers costs, anti-racism training and additional support where needed. 

They have already secured some funding, but with rising costs, they just need an additional £5,000 more to make sure it is as amazing as it was last year and has the positive impact. As a result, they have decided to reach out to the community for support.

Proud Futures' first ever GoFundMe appeal is now live! 

For the next 3 weeks, they will be fundraising the £5,000 they need to deliver the 2026 LGBTQ+ Changemaker and Leadership Programme.
