🌈✨Join the GCA at Pride in London 2026! ✨🌈
We’re back for our fourth year at Pride in London on Saturday, 4th July, and we’d love you to be part of the celebration! 🎉
💌 Get involved! We’re raising money by selling LGBTQ+ cards, and 100% of the funds go towards this year’s Pride!
🏳️🌈 Join us on the march – With 50 spaces available, walk with us as we spread love, positivity, and thousands of beautiful greeting cards along the parade route.
🙏 Sponsor our Pride initiative – This wouldn’t be possible without our incredible sponsors, as our position is fully funded by sponsorship and not GCA funds. We’re looking for both paid sponsors and suppliers to help print cards, provide envelopes etc and make this event even bigger and better.
Your support helps us share messages of inclusivity, kindness, and pride - one card at a time!
