Alternative Pride Volunteer 7/8 Sept 2024

Who we are:

QRC is a regenerative Grassroots group based in Manchester that is shifting the focus of pride to community rather than capitalist corporations. QRC acknowledges the radical roots of pride, its history of protest and struggle whilst also looking defiantly ahead in a world of climate catastrophe, we dare to envision alternative futures to consumerism that attempts to sell our identities back to us.

Join us for our second year at Platt Fields Market Garden on 7+8th September. We're hosting a packed programme of music, crafts, workshops, talks, queer food vendors, queer beer, a sober day, and so much more for our two day shindig. We will be welcoming groups already doing amazing things in our city and celebrating the amazing, diverse, radical heart of our queer community. Our doors are open to those of all ages, gender, sexuality or none. All money from ticket sales will go into putting on the event. Tell ya mates, Tell Ya Gran, Tell ya Postie!

What are we looking for?

Come and help make our 2nd Alternative Pride happen in Platt Fields Park on 7th and 8th September. If you’re looking for an alternative Pride that focuses on building community and spending time outdoors, this one’s for you!

What would you be doing as a volunteer?

We need people to help out:

• On the door
• Befriending
• Running the lino print stall
• Running the zine-making stall
• and more!

We’ll be keeping volunteer opportunities updated on our website. 

Benefits of being a volunteer

Meet new people, learn new skills, spend time outdoors, and a chance to make something really ace happen! (You'll also get a day ticket to the festival, food and a drink for the day(s) you volunteer, and tickets are sliding scale, so feel free to choose the cheaper option for the other festival day ticket)

Thanks, and looking forward to welcoming you to the garden soon!
