Bucketts of Pride Gloucester NSW
We are a community rich in admiration for where we live. Whether the community shows that through Sport, Committees, where you work, who you are or what you do, we all promote Gloucester positively. Now its time to show everyone how PROUD we are of where we live! We aim to foster a safe environment for all and particularly our youth. The mental health and well-being of young people is a critical concern, particularly for those in marginalized groups such as LGBTQI+ youth. This is a movement that has only just begun, with a plan to Establish a Youth Support Space In Gloucester, aimed at addressing the mental health challenges faced by local youth, providing access to therapeutic resources, fostering community engagement, and ensuring an inclusive environment. A Pride Event in Feb 2025 is just the tip of the iceberg of how Bucketts of Pride Gloucester will drive awareness for regional NSW. Your support in this endeavour is greatly appreciated.
