Welcome to LonGBoaT Wakefield
LonGBoaT Wakefield CIO is a passionate and dedicated charity based in Wakefield, West Yorkshire. We are devoted to providing a platform for LGBT+ individuals and allies to come together and create an inclusive environment as well as delivering events, activities and services.
LonGBoaT Wakefield was established in 2018 as a community group, to continue a pride event held on Southgate. Since then we have grown both our pride event and other events and activities held throughout the year. LonGBoaT Wakefield became a Charity Incorporated Organisation (CIO) in April 2024.
We organise various events like LonGBoaT Wakefield Community Pride and an annual Virgin Drag Competition to celebrate the diversity and strength of the LGBT+ community.
We strive to make Wakefield a more inclusive and understanding space for everyone and are proud to be a part of the local community. Join us and become a part of the LonGBoaT Wakefield CIO family.
