Apply for an Everyday Pride Grant!

Small funding for big creative expression!

Wigan Pride promotes and celebrates equality and diversity by bringing together arts, music, a street parade, and positive messages at a big annual event in Wigan, and in 2025 Wigan Pride is celebrating its 10th anniversary and this year promises to be the biggest and best one yet!

To mark this special anniversary, in partnership with the Wigan Pride Committee and Wigan Council, Everyday are proud to be launching a small grants programme to encourage local artists and creative organisations or groups to bring extra spectacle to this year’s Pride march on 16th August 2025, providing an opportunity for everyone to get involved in this year's parade.

We are calling the scheme our Everyday Pride Grants, and hope that this small funding pot will make space for creative expression. If you’re local, from Greater Manchester or further afield, we want this funding pot to inspire and help to express how proud you are to be a part of the LQBTQ+ community or show your support as an ally.

We are looking for proposals for joyful and vibrant creative ideas to be incorporated into this year’s march that celebrate equality and its importance in creating a rich and welcoming community in Wigan. These can be posters, banners, costumes, or any other creative artworks that meet our simple criteria!

Grants of £500 are available to support your big creative ideas.

To apply please complete the short application form here.

• The deadline for applications is Thursday 26th June 2025, and successful applicants will be notified on Monday 7th July 2025.

• For further information, please contact the Everyday team on hello@everydaywigan.org.uk and we’ll be happy to help!
