SUMMARY:The Sparkle Weekend
DESCRIPTION:The Sparkle Weekend is the world’s largest free-to-attend celebration of gender diversity\, and a safe space for anyone who identifies as gender non-conforming\, their families\, friends\, and allies. In 2019\, we welcomed more than 22\,000 visitors over the weekend. \nThe Sparkle Weekend is a festival-style family event\, featuring live music and entertainment\, talks and workshops\, and an opportunity for our corporate sponsors\, grassroots charities\, and trans-run businesses to engage with our visitors. \nWe also work with local and national charities who support young trans and gender questioning people and their families so that all age groups feel included. \nOne of the charity’s core values is that the event remains free-to-attend in order to be accessible to everyone\, regardless of gender identity\, race\, religion\, or physical ability. \nThe Sparkle Weekend currently costs tens-of-thousands of pounds to deliver and is currently funded by companies who share the charity’s values of equality and inclusion for all gender non-conforming individuals\, and visitor donations. Sponsorship and donations mean that the Charity can also include smaller grassroots groups who support sub-sectional minorities in the event.
