This year Skinnydip London did Pride bigger and better than ever before, raising awareness and money for three fantastic charities and working hard to spread an incredibly important message behind their amazing campaign #BeyondTheRainbow.

One of their main goals this year was to go the extra mile to look beyond the pride signifying rainbow to educate, inspire and create a safe space for the LGBT+ community to enjoy during Pride.

They worked alongside activists Jade Laurice, Jamie Campbell and Charlie Craggs to create a fantastic collection of bright, colourful and inspiring t-shirts and matching tote bags to raise money for some amazing charities this Pride.

These three LGBT+ activists have poured their heart and soul into designing these limited-edition products, with 100% of profits going directly to their chosen charities so they can continue to do great work on making the world a much better place!

Skinnydip London worked alongside Benefit Cosmetics UK to create a colourful activation space in central London at White Space in Leicester Square, where they showcased a host of fun, educational events for all to attend during the week of Pride.

They opened up the space with a big ole’ Skinnydip style party – with complimentary biodegradable glitter from A Beautiful Weirdo, drinks from SBS Cocktails, cupcakes from the cake pro’s Lola’s and an exceptional dance performance from The Gay Men’s Dance Company!

On Thursday, July 4 they hosted an interactive workshop with amazing author Dom&Ink to celebrate his inspiring LGBT+ journal Free to Be Me, where the attendees got to colour in a drag queen of their own and take part in a fun and colourful art experiment! Along with complimentary mani’s from Skinnydip’s exclusive nail salon Nail Club and bright and colourful brow styling from Benefit Cosmetics UK.

On July 5 they hosted a ‘Colours of the Rainbow’ panel event with five fantastic LGBT+ panellists where they chatted all about the LGBT+ community, coming out, finding your family and the importance of uniting everyone together to build a better future for LGBT+ individuals. Skinnydip are such big advocates of opening up a conversation on topics that some may find difficult and work hard hosting panels all year round, so it really wouldn’t have the Skinnydip stamp on it if they didn’t host an incredible board.

July 6 was all about celebrating the beauty of London Pride, so the space was opened up to the public, and everyone was invited in to enjoy the fun inside.
