GMB Southern region Shout! will be attending all prides taking place in the region this year.

The rain held off on Saturday at Portsmouth pride and it was a great community event which has grown hugely in the last 2 years. Portsmouth pride kicked off a summer of events supporting LGBTI people.

We are particularly excited about our plans for Brighton Pride where we will have an open top bus and a great display in GMB colours.

If you would like to join us on the parade or help run a stall for the following Prides then please get in touch with Paul Sony who leads our Shout network at gmbsouthernshout@gmail.com or 07419 981543
