Help LGBT+ charity It Gets Better at our stall at Glasgow Pride!

It Gets Better UK envisions a world where all LGBTQ+ youth are free to live equally and know their worthiness and power as individuals.
At Pride, we run stalls where people can share their story, a message to their younger self, or a message of support. The conversations we have are uplifting and often emotional.

Join us at the heart of the celebration—spreading joy, positivity, and support for LGBTQ+ youth. Whether you’re helping with setup, handing out materials, or engaging with the crowd, your energy will make a real difference.

Volunteering at Pride is your chance to show support and be part of a movement that empowers young people to embrace their true selves. Let’s make this Pride unforgettable by amplifying the voices of LGBTQ+ youth!
