Throughout the event, GLOW provided a visible and welcoming presence, giving young people the opportunity to connect, engage and celebrate Pride in a safe and affirming environment. The day was filled with positivity, colour and a strong sense of community, with many young people attending and representing GLOW with pride.

For many of those involved, Halton Pride offered a valuable opportunity to be part of a larger celebration of LGBTQIA+ identity, reinforcing the importance of visibility and belonging. GLOW’s presence helped ensure that young people felt represented and supported within the wider Pride event.

Staff and young volunteers played a key role in creating an inclusive and engaging space, encouraging conversations, building connections and promoting the ongoing work of GLOW within the community.

Events like Halton Pride are an important reminder of the impact that safe, supportive spaces can have on young people’s confidence and wellbeing. GLOW remains committed to providing that space week in, week out, and looks forward to continuing to support and celebrate LGBTQIA+ young people across Halton.

Pride Prom Celebrates Pride Month in Style

GLOW celebrated Pride Month with a Pride Prom, offering a vibrant and inclusive celebration of identity, community and self-expression for young people across the region.

The event brought together LGBTQIA+ young people and allies for an unforgettable evening, providing a safe and welcoming space where everyone could truly be themselves. From the moment doors opened, the atmosphere was filled with excitement, confidence and pride, as young people embraced the opportunity to celebrate in a way that felt authentic to them.

Whether on the dancefloor, capturing memories with friends, or simply enjoying being part of a supportive community, the impact of the evening was clear. For many attendees, Pride Prom offered a rare chance to experience a prom environment where they felt fully accepted, comfortable and celebrated.

Holding the event during Pride Month added an extra layer of significance, reinforcing the importance of visibility, inclusion and creating spaces where young people can thrive. The evening was not only a celebration, but a powerful reminder of the value of safe, affirming environments for LGBTQIA+ young people.

The success of Pride Prom 2025 highlights the ongoing need for opportunities like this, supporting young people’s confidence, wellbeing and sense of belonging.

Following such a positive response, we’re delighted to confirm that Pride Prom will return in 2026. Planning is already underway to make next year’s event even bigger and better, continuing to provide a space where young people can celebrate freely and safely.
