Founded in 2015 by Reading Pride’s MyUmbrella LGBT+, what began as a small local gathering has now reached its tenth year of remembrance, solidarity, and community. This year, TransKind by Beaumont and Newbury Pride lead this film-based vigil, reflecting a wider commitment to inclusivity and collaboration across Berkshire, with hopes to involve more Prides and community groups across the county.
