London Community Pride seeks community engagement

• London Community Pride consults community organisations as part of its bid
• Bid includes commitment to open meeting in early 2013
• Seeking volunteers to register interest to help deliver a world class Pride in London

London Community Pride (LCP) is consulting a wide range of LGBT Community organisations ahead of submitting its bid to deliver London's Pride, having gained the support of many key representative groups already. Invitations to a meeting on 3 December have been sent out to a wide range of community groups but LCP is asking any organisation that has not received an invitation to contact them through their website (www.londoncommunitypride.org) or directly to stephenw@londoncommunitypride.org. 

This meeting is focused on leaders of community groups representing the broadest possible spectrum of the LGBT community. LCP is committed to holding an open public meeting in early 2013 if its bid is successful. www.LondonCommunityPride.org has discussion forums that are already live and LCP also has a Facebook page (/LondonCommunityPride) and is on Twitter @londoncommpride. LCP looks forward to hearing from anyone with ideas about the future of Pride and how it should be organised in future years.

 LCP today also calls for volunteers to register their interest in helping plan and deliver a worldclass Pride for London that will be a beacon to the world. If LCP's bid is successful, a wide range of roles have already been identified which will need to be filled urgently in 2013 from liaison with local businesses in the run up to Pride Day, managing LCP’s social media presence, to the all important task of stewarding the event on the day. 

LCP welcomes all applications and anyone who is interested should email LCP with their contact details using volunteer@londoncommunitypride.org (please no CVs).
