March with us in this year’s London Pride and help us put an end to religious and cultural homophobia, and discrimination against LGBTQI people within faith communities.
Help us raise visibility through the streets of London and let the capital, and the rest of the world know that we will not sit back and let religious and cultural beliefs take the lives and happiness away from our beautiful brothers and sisters who are born the way they are.
We will not stand back and let this continue. Our mission is to never let religion, any religion, come in the way of the unconditional love between parents and their children

Matt will be collecting these from the parade organisers, and handing them out to individuals who have successfully registered and been accepted to join our marching group via the link above. We have been allocated 20 places for the march, so once we have 20 registrations we can’t unfortunately accept any new volunteers. [update 19/06/2016: we have only a few places left]

Naz & Matt Foundation will be marching in Section C (see the full parade list here).
Please familiarise yourself with the groups that we will be marching in front of and behind – this will help you to find our position in the march. - Say “cheese”
Please bring your camera or video camera and film and share as much stuff as you want. The objective of us marching is to raise visibility of the issues we are going to resolve. - Naz & Matt Foundation T-Shirts
We should have enough t-shirts to give away for everyone marching with us on the day. As I don’t know all of your sizes we have had to guess and print a few of each size. Hopefully we’ll all fit in. - Will we be carrying a banner?
Yes we have a large visual PVC banner to carry with us in the march to inform everyone why we are marching. It’s too big to carry for one person, so I would thankful if we can take in turns to carry part of it 🙂
