Dan | Chairman & Founder
I’ve worked since 2011 to make Warwickshire a more accepting, safe and welcoming place for LGBT+ people. From being told that there are no gay people in Warwickshire and that Warwickshire Pride will fail, it’s great to see how far we have come since then.
Healey | Trustee
I came across Warwickshire Pride in 2013 at the Peace Festival. Back then Warwickshire Pride was just a youth group called Push Projects for young LGBT+ people. I became a trustee in 2016 and I love what I do. I run some of the Pride services such as the coffee social, parents group , trans group and the online zoom groups. I am also a drag queen called Sassi Afrika. I have released albums of original music which have sold in over 60 countries around the world. All the royalties get donated to Warwickshire Pride.
Simon | Trustee
I got involved as a trustee after the pandemic. Warwickshire Pride proved a great opportunity to give something back to the community. Among other duties, I am responsible for maintaining the website.
Naomi | Trustee
I grew up in Stratford-on-Avon, and after going to University and travelling I have settled with my wife and child in Leamington Spa. I decided to join as a trustee for Warwickshire Pride as I could see the good the group has been doing across the county for the last few years and wanted to give back and be a part of the change for good.
Cliff | Trustee
After retiring and moving to Leamington Spa with my husband in 2023, I was looking for volunteer opportunities. I joined Warwickshire Pride as a trustee in early 2024. Outside of Pride, I am a very keen historian and hoping that we can encourage the expansion of an LGBTQ+ archive for the county.
H | Trustee
I first joined Warwickshire Pride as a volunteer Youth Worker in March 2024 and shortly after that became a Trustee. Being both a volunteer and a trustee means I can get directly involved with service users while actively looking to improve things behind the scenes. I joined Warwickshire Pride because it is such a brilliant charity, providing many services to the queer community that I wish I had had when I was growing up. I am thrilled to be part of it all and hope that we can continue to help many more LGBT+ people across Warwickshire.
David | Trustee
My journey with Warwickshire Pride began with the creation of a vibrant book club in 2023, which then led to the development of a movie club, both dedicated to celebrating LGBT+ stories and culture. As a trustee, I am motivated by a deep commitment to fostering inclusivity and connection. I hope to continue making Warwickshire Pride a vibrant organisation which creates attractive places for queer people and allies to come together.
Harry | Trustee
I grew up in Leamington Spa and spent the last 8 years living in London and Germany. These experiences exposed me to diverse cultures and highlighted the divisions that still exist in society. Now back in Leamington, I am committed to supporting the local community and fostering a sense of equality and inclusion. By joining Warwickshire Pride, I aim to contribute to creating an environment where everyone feels valued and accepted.
