Durham Pride will proceed this year, ensuring the annual celebration continues despite a council funding cut. Trade unions successfully raised money after Durham's Reform UK council withdrew its financial support for the 2026 event, which has run since 2014. The funds generated by their fundraising initiatives for the 2026 event, which raised over £15,000, significantly surpassed the council's complete withdrawal of financial support, which had previously amounted to £10,000 or more annually.
