ORKNEY PRIDE - AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:

HAPPY NEW YEAR from all of us at Orkney Pride! We can't wait to see you for our first event of 2026!

And, as a reminder, should you need to reach out to anyone, there are still services available. We're attaching a small list of helplines, for you should you require it.

Whatever you're up to this festive season, we do hope it's filled with joy, laughter, and love.

Happy Holidays! (2/2)

We're full of festive joy🎄

More importantly, we want to thank you for a fantastic year! It's been a non-stop whirlwind of excitement and we do hope you'll join us for more in the year to come...starting with our 90's/00's Disco on January 17th. (1/2)

...the house down. The house, in this case, being The Orkney Distillery. It's an 8pm start but we won't turn you away if you turn up later.

(Oh and there may be a soft rebrand on this poster, but that's a tale for next month)

Another new year, another party!

That's right. We had so much fun dancing the night away to Chappell Roan at the start of 2025, that we've elected to begin 2026 with a night of non-stop classic hits.

We'd appreciate a little money at the door, but whatever you donate we'll make sure to bring...

A little good news!

The lovely Michele Nicholls made and auctioned off this adorable bear (crafted using the colours of the trans flag) and raised £120, which she has generously donated to us

We are so grateful for this gift, especially given how rough this year has been for those in our community

This TDoR, like so many days before, we mourn those we have lost and recognise those who are still with us.

It's our sincerest hope that, someday soon, the fight for the right to exist will cease and that there will be enough of us around to appreciate it.

Take care of yourselves.
💙💖🤍💖💙

Today, on Remembrance Day, the lovely and considerate Angela laid a wreath to honour all those who were affected by the war.
We remember them today and always.

Important update from our friends over at the St Dragnus Committee regarding next week's show!!

Rural Transgender Health: Primary Care Experiences: Trans and Non-Binary Participants Survey Please take the time to complete our survey. Your feedback is important.

The NHS is looking for YOUR feedback!

If you're a trans or non-binary person living in a rural area (like Orkney), then they want to know all about your experience.

There's also an opportunity for vouchers, but the really important thing is you making your voice heard!
