Why Sweat with Pride exists
Every day across Australia, LGBTQIA+ people rely on community-led services for mental health support, legal assistance, education, advocacy, and social inclusion.
These services play a vital role in addressing the discrimination many still face at work and in daily life. Yet the organisations delivering them don't have what they need to meet demand.
That’s why Sweat with Pride exists: to strengthen rainbow communities year-round and help fund these life-changing services.
