Last year, Tonbridge saw its very first Pride parade, hosted by the fabulous Sofia Stardust and organised by Zoe Duerden. It was such a great success and we're delighted to see it return this year, and hopefully many more years to come! With our factory set in Goudhurst, Tonbridge Pride is our most local LGBTQIA+ event, and we really wanted to support it any way we could.
Funds are tight for small businesses at the best of times, but these last few years have made it even more so, meaning that sponsorship was sadly out of the question for us. Last year, we offered up a raffle prize to help them raise funds, but this year we were determined to do more!
That's why we've created our Rainbow Collection, the first in our new range of socially-minded collections to offer local charities and community groups a direct boost through our sales! Each collection will contain a selection of x6 Goupie flavours for £30. £5 of each collection sale will be donated monthly to our chosen partners to fund their amazing projects.
Tonbridge Pride came about through community spirit and is an amazing example of what can happen when individuals collaborate to in their local area. It is an event designed to give everyone a safe space to express themselves and their individuality whilst also coming together to celebrate their community. The organisers managed to nab Ru Paul's Drag Race star, Sofia Stardust, for their event and they'll be returning again this year!
