The QTIPoC+ community care festival intentionally takes place a week before Glasgow Pride as we wanted to provide an alternative offering, in the spirit of the early Pride movement, rooted in resistance and community solidarity.

The festival will feature guided opportunities for networking and movement building, learning your place in the social change ecosystem and nourishing workshops to alleviate inner tensions and stressors, equipping us with tools for our personal and community wellbeing.

As an organisation aiming to build community as a unit of resilience, we believe that having community care events such as these could help to reduce the effects of systemic injustice that our community faces by supporting people with mutual aid, organising, and self-help tools. Helping to provide an alternative model of care to the statutory services which often are not suitable or safe for our community.

We want to use the opportunity of Pride to remind our community to look after themselves and each other, and help them find new ways to do so.
