Lunch Positive Service Manager, Gary Pargeter, said: “Staging our café at Pride is always a hugely exciting and important community event, and a very important fundraiser to us.

“This year the support we’ve had in putting this together has been amazing with over 40 people who use the lunch club, our volunteer team, friends and supporters offer us their help.

“Everyone’s been amazing. It’s a wonderful example of community engagement, Lunch Positive being valued, and genuine empowerment for everyone involved. We’re so incredibly grateful, and hope that everyone has a fabulous day!
