The Welsh Government has announced a new partnership with Pride Cymru to administer the successful Grassroots Pride fund for 2025-2026, ensuring LGBTQ+ communities in towns and villages across Wales continue to benefit from local celebrations.
The announcement comes towards the end of Pride month, which saw celebrations taking place across Wales throughout June.
For the past three years, the fund has helped communities celebrate Pride events throughout Wales, with £38,250 available in the latest round of funding.
Brecon Pride was one of several events across Wales that received Welsh Government support. The celebration brought together hundreds of people from across mid-Wales and beyond for a day of performances, community stalls and family activities.
Chair of Brecon Pride, Michael Price, said: "Pride events like ours have a truly transformative impact on rural communities. They create spaces where people feel seen and celebrated, while boosting community spirit across our region. With this funding support, we've been able to reach more people and create a stronger sense of belonging."
To improve the delivery of the fund and to make it more responsive to the needs of local Prides, the Welsh Government decided to partner with Pride Cymru to administer the fund on their behalf.
