Walk Against Homophobia PDF Print E-mail
Walk Against HomophobiaHundreds of people will gather in May for Manchester’s first ever Sponsored Walk Against Homophobia taking place in the city on 24 May 2008.
 
The walk which is raising money for the Lesbian and Gay Foundation (LGF) will start at 1pm from All Saints Park, Oxford Road Manchester and will travel through Manchester City Centre ending in Sackville Park where there will be speeches and live acoustic music.

All individuals, organisations and businesses from the lesbian and gay community of the North West and beyond are being invited to take part on the day.

The Lesbian and Gay Foundation hope that the walk will bring people together with their friends and family to ensure that LGBT voices are still heard and to help ‘End Homophobia and Empower People’.

Emma Peate, Fundraising Manager at the LGF said: “The aims of the event are to raise awareness about homophobia amongst the general public, media and policy/decision makers, have an enjoyable event that helps bring community members together and of course raise money for LGF's much needed services in the process.

“We are hoping for a really big turn out to have maximum effect, and create a real buzz in Manchester on the day!”
 
It is essential that walkers register their interest for the event with LGF as the total number of people wishing to take part needs to be confirmed with the authorities. LGF are also looking for volunteers to steward the event.
