"We know this is incredibly disappointing and is not a decision we`ve been able to make easily, but our duty is to ensure that all our events are run safely.
"2022 was, without doubt, our biggest Pride yet! This was thanks to the had work of an incredibly small group of dedicated volunteers and one massive support from our community!
"We are now looking for proactive volunteers of the community to come forward to join the team to assist in many various roles throughout each year."
