Endometriosis UK Pride Stand Volunteers (Grampian Pride 2025-Aberdeen Duthie Park)

We are the UK’s leading charity for all those affected by endometriosis, determined to ensure that everyone gets prompt diagnosis and the best treatment and support.

We are excited to be returning to Pride for a second year. We are looking for information stand
volunteers and parade volunteers to join us at Grampian Pride on Saturday 7th June 2025 (our information stand will be located at the wonderful Pride Village at Duthie Park). You will be raising awareness of endometriosis and Endometriosis UK within LGBTQIA+ communities. This is an integral part of ensuring everyone with endometriosis has access to support as part of our mission.

Volunteers from last years event feedback:
“It was fantastic to be at Pride, we had lots of people wanting to speak to us – many thanked us for being there to spread awareness, some thanked us for helping them personally to get a diagnosis, lots of people sharing their symptoms and asking for advice.” – Pride 2024 volunteer
