Cumbria LGBT Pride are well known for our Pride events, but we also support LGBT+ individuals and families all year. In this area there are often activities for adults and teenagers, but there is very little for younger children, so we introduced 'Make with Pride' offering relaxed art and craft sessions for LGBT+ families with this age group. Thanks to funding from the Community Fund (from the National Lottery) we are able to offer these activities to families completely free.

Sessions are suitable for nursery/primary age children who must be accompanied by an adult, and are for children who either identify as LGBT+ themselves, have family members or friends who identify as LGBT+, or whose family would like support in becoming an LGBT+ ally. We aim to give children more opportunities to see other diverse families and help promote early understanding of inclusion, whilst also supporting nervous parents/carers/families to feel less isolated.
