Pride Activity Network

StreetGames’ Pride Activity Network is a peer-support network for community organisations to share best practice and seek advice around engaging with LGBTQ+ young people through sport.

About the Pride Activity Network

StreetGames’ North West Pride Activity Network (PAN) is a peer-support network available to all community organisations in the StreetGames network who want to share best practice or seek advice around engaging with LGBTQ+ young people through sport. The network is coordinated by Beth Warriner (Doorstep Sport Advisor for Bolton, Bury and Wigan) and Sally Carr MBE (North West Area Director).

JD Foundation, the charitable arm of the JD Sports Group, have generously funded this work, in partnership with Pride Sports. This project consists of multiple elements, offers and opportunities for both community organisations and LGBTQ+ young people themselves.

Pride Activity Network meetings

StreetGames host PAN Meetings online 3 times per year, where LTOs can attend, discuss key topics, share best practice, and seek guidance and support around LGBTQ+ inclusion. Each meeting, a different LTO is also invited to present on their LGBTQ+ inclusion journey and share their successes and challenges in this area.

The next Pride Activity Network Meeting will be held on National Coming Out Day, on Friday 11th October 2024, 2-3pm.

If you would like to join the Pride Activity Network and attend the meetings, please contact Beth Warriner.
