We have several voluntary roles currently available within the organisation. Please check out our available roles and see if you can make a difference in the local community.

Here is Why

"I thought I was in for a life of acceptance and community spirit when I moved to Surrey but the harsh reality was, many people I met didn't understand the LGBTQ+ community, many with an ignorant, warped view about sexuality and/or gender or on the other coin simply didn't want to talk about the LGBTQ+ community due to their own personal fears or those common misconceptions."

Stephen Ireland

Founder

"It was surprising to me that Surrey had so many supportive charities, faith and community groups, all of which not celebrated as much as they could be. Surrey LGBTQ+ Pride CIC is able to drive awareness of such supporters and keep a sense check on what may be happening to the local community and neighbouring communities."

Charlie Watts

Chief Executive

"Many LGBTQ+ people do not feel as though they fit in and on many occasions are left behind. We'll tackle this issue locally and also continue to educate people on the challenges faced worldwide by the LGBTQ+ community."
