Sherborne Pride Thanks 🏳️‍🌈
As Town Mayor — and a Christian — I believe that God is love. And where there is love, there is also dignity, hope, and welcome.

I’m proud that Sherborne is a place where people can live with openness, respect, and mutual care. Events like this help to build a kinder and more connected community, for everyone.

Thank you to Sadie and the Pride organisers, volunteers, and all of you who came today to show your support. I hope you had a wonderful, joy-filled Pride.

Let’s keep working together for a Sherborne where no one is left out — and where love truly does live at the heart of our town.
