Sunday, 1st August 2010   [ 34 days to Reading Pride 2010 ]

Sponsoring Reading Pride is about giving a lifeline to the LGBT community. It is far more than just throwing money at a party...

Sponsorship 2010

Here at Reading Pride we believe that when you sponsor our event its not just a one off relationship. Its a relationship we like to build and therefore create a bespoke package so not only we can benefit from your generous support but you gain maximum exposure for your contribution not only before the day, but during it and after.
