Update: We have now reached capacity for our marching group. Thank you everyone that has signed up. We will shortly be sending out an email with details for meeting. Please do not try and sign up as we will sadly not be able to accommodate any new registrations.
March with us in Pride in London on Saturday 8th July and help us raise awareness of the devastating impacts of religious and cultural homophobia.
As we walk we will be remembering my darling Naz, and making London – and the rest of the world – know that we will not sit back and let homophobia, prejudice and fear control our lives.
We will be the voice of those that can not speak to their families for the fear of what might happen if they do.
Theme: Royal India and Fabulous Butterflies
What do I need to wear?
Our theme this year is ‘Royal India and Butterflies‘.
Please dress in this theme if you can, but you may actually wear whatever you like.
We would like to encourage as many of you as possible to wear a Naz and Matt Foundation t-shirt to march in (see bottom of this post of how to obtain one).
The most important thing is that you’re comfortable and relaxed. But also be bold, and be fabulous!
On the day it may be hot, or remember it’s Britain – so it may rain. Please make sure you dress accordingly and especially remember to bring drinking water with you.
