"[UK Black Pride] was created from a need to have a safe space to explore and celebrate sexuality, gender and race, with specific attention to how these identities intersect," a spokesperson said.
"UKBP is necessary as it allows cultural heritage and diversity to take centre stage for the Black and people of colour (POC) LGBTQIA+ communities it serves."
It continues to support Black and POC who 'experience discrimination on multiple fronts, along sexuality, gender, and race lines'. The spokesperson said the event is as important as ever because these people have 'often encountered additional marginalisation at mainstream Pride events as they are not exempt from the racism that exists in society at large'.
In response to a 2021 survey, UKBP launched a Community Action Fund to support organisations that aid Black and LGBTQ+ POC across the UK.
