Businesses urged to show their support for Congleton Pride
Businesses are being urged to show their support for Congleton Pride.
The team behind Congleton Pride are calling on local businesses to back this year's event.
Shops can sign up for a sponsorship package or simply decorate their windows in rainbow colours, with a prize for the best display to be presented on the day.
Malcolm Pope, chair of Congleton Pride, said: "Pride serves as a potent reminder of the struggles and victories of the rainbow community, highlighting the ongoing fight for acceptance, equal rights and protection against discrimination.
"It's a beacon of solidarity, an open declaration that love transcends boundaries and vibrant call for unity in diversity.
"If you believe in equality and diversity within your business, then your goals are already aligned with ours."
Malcolm added: "Thousands attend Congleton Pride every year and we'd love to hear from businesses large and small from across Congleton.
"Decorating your shop window is a simple way to show support for the LGBTQIA+ community.
"And our sponsorship packages have been designed to help businesses find the best way to help us, with prices starting from £25.
"Your support can help make the town a safer, kinder, and more equal place for all."
Founded in 2018, Congleton Pride was set up to promote equality, celebrate diversity, and build a stronger, more inclusive community.
Now in its sixth year, the family friendly, free event takes place throughout the town centre and Congleton Market Quarter on Saturday, July 19.
One business that has already signed up to support this year's event is Millie's Vets.
Veterinary director James Ede said: "I am proud that we have the opportunity to support diversity and equality in our wonderful town by being the main sponsor again this year.
"Supporting a charity that has at its core making Congleton a safe and welcoming town for all, is really important to me."
