LGBTQIA+ Advocacy Countywide.
Wicklow Pride® is a grassroots LGBTQIA+ organisation founded in 2014 in Arklow to promote equality, inclusion, visibility, and community across County Wicklow and beyond. Run by a dedicated team of volunteers, we work to create safe, welcoming spaces where LGBTQIA+ people, their families, friends, and allies can connect, learn, and thrive. Our work includes community events, social gatherings, coffee mornings, educational talks, advocacy campaigns, awareness initiatives, and Pride celebrations. We actively campaign for LGBTQIA+ rights, challenge discrimination, and work with public bodies, community groups, and businesses to help build a more inclusive society for everyone. Wicklow Pride® is committed to supporting people of all ages and backgrounds, whether they are exploring their identity, looking for community connections, or seeking opportunities to get involved in positive social change. There are many ways to get involved. You can attend our events, volunteer with our team, support our campaigns, become a member, partner with us on projects, or simply help spread our message of equality, diversity, and inclusion. We welcome everyone who shares our vision of a world where every person can live openly, safely, and proudly.
