Jenny Dewsnap, Chair of Trustees at Doncaster Pride said: “We are delighted One Stop have joined the Doncaster Pride Team for 2023. The Children and Family Zone was a great success in 2022 and we wanted to build on this for 2023, thanks to the support received from One Stop we're able to do this.

“The Family Zone is so important and shows our commitment to making Doncaster Pride more diverse, more inclusive and more enjoyable for families, after all a world where our children grow up accepting everyone for who they are has to be a good thing.”
