Help our Tree of Pride into bloom!
We invite you to contribute to a very special public art piece, here at Westwood Cross on 10th & 11th August.
If you're taking part in Margate Pride on 10th August, make sure you drop by Westwood Cross and discover our Tree of Pride in the Sundial area by Next. Simply take a paper flower, write down your supportive message or pledge for the LGBTQIA+ community and it will be added to a branch. The tree will travel across the UK and blossom with pledges as it goes.
Our tree stands for love and acceptance; and against hate. We can all be the change.

Prompts for your pledge
I pledge to...

- Use inclusive language to help everyone feel united
- Normalise the use of pronouns, such as 'he/him', 'she/her' and 'they/them'
- Expand my knowledge through research on common LGBTQIA+ terms and the community's history of activism in the face of adversity
- Show up in person
- Avoid making assumptions about people
