Students at New College can sign up to volunteer at Pride when it returns to Swindon this year.

Representatives of Swindon and Wiltshire Pride will be at the college next week on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday to publicise the event and hoping to find volunteers to help out.

The LGBTQ+ event did not take place last year through lack of funds, but the team organising the event which will take place in the Town Gardens in Old Town in August are now in full fund-raising mode.

The next event will be a 'Back to School' party on Saturday, 16 February 2019 from 21:00-03:00 at Level III, 73 Commercial Road.

Organisers of the festival in August are also looking for sponsors to go with the ones they've already secured, Wickes, Homebase, B&Q and Newjax, and the National Lottery Community Fund.

Sponsors and anyone who would like to volunteer top help out in August can contact the organising team at swindonwiltshirepride.co.uk

Swindon and Wiltshire Pride will be held on Saturday August 10.
