UK Black Pride, the world’s largest celebration for LGBTQIA people of African, Asian, Caribbean, Latin American, and Middle Eastern descent, has officially joined forces with the Rainbow Lottery. This new partnership will mean that supporters will be able to win cash prizes while directly funding UK Black Pride.
The Rainbow Lottery is the UK’s only lottery dedicated to supporting LGBTQIA causes. Now, if you select UK Black Pride as your chosen cause, for every £1 Rainbow Lottery ticket you buy, 50p will go to UK Black Pride. A partnership like this will ensure that the organisation’s trailblazing work can continue growing, championing and celebrating intersectional LGBTQIA communities.
Lady Phyll Opoku-Gyimah, CEO and Co-Founder of UK Black Pride, said: “This partnership with the Rainbow Lottery is an incredible opportunity to sustain and grow UK Black Pride’s work. Our community deserves long-term support, and this is a brilliant way for people to contribute while having the chance to win big. The more tickets purchased for our cause, the more we can invest in building safe, joyous, and empowering spaces for LGBTQ+ people of colour.”
Rainbow Lottery Spokesperson, Tom Gattos, added: “The Rainbow Lottery is all about supporting and uplifting the full spectrum of the LGBTQ+ community, and we are beyond thrilled to welcome UK Black Pride as a partner. Their impact has been phenomenal, and together, we can drive even more meaningful change.”
