Pride isn’t just a party – it’s a promise. A promise to show up, speak out, and support LGBTQ+ communities not only in June, but every single day of the year.
As Sahir, Liverpool City Region’s oldest LGBTQ+ and HIV charity, celebrates 40 years of life-affirming, community-shaping work, it is calling on local businesses to turn words into action through its bold new fundraiser: Divas, Desks & Donations.
For a £1,000 donation, workplaces can bring in a fabulous professional drag queen to take over the office for one unforgettable hour (or two) of camp chaos. Think Drag Bingo, lip-syncs, irreverent office games, and more – all in support of LGBTQ+ lives.
“We’ve seen so many Pride Month statements this year – and rightly so,” said Ant Hopkinson, CEO of Sahir. “But what matters most is what comes after those posts. This campaign is a chance to go beyond the rainbow flag and put your support into action.”
What Your Business Gets:
- A custom in-office drag queen experience (1-2 hour based on attendees)
- Options for Bingo, birthday shoutouts, quizzes, desk walk-throughs & games
- Morale-boosting team fun with purpose
- A direct and meaningful way to support LGBTQ+ and HIV services across the region
We can also host a short, engaging LGBTQ+ inclusion talk from Sahir’s team – connecting the entertainment to real-life change.
“This isn’t just about glitter and glamour – though there’ll be plenty of that,” added Ant. “It’s about starting conversations, showing solidarity, and directly funding services that help LGBTQ+ people survive and thrive. Every penny raised helps us keep going – long after the rainbow flags come down.”
The initiative has already had its pilot outing at Clockwise, Liverpool – where staff experienced a midweek morale boost like no other. Read more about the pilot event here: https://www.sahir.org.uk/big-hair-belly-laughs-bingo-banter
