Our Patrons
Celebrating who we are. Helping Pride reach further.
Our Patrons
Our Patrons share East Coast Pride’s belief that everyone deserves to feel safe, valued and free to be themselves.
Through their visibility, influence and connection with others, they help us raise awareness of our charity and celebrate LGBTQIA+ lives across Lincolnshire’s coastal and rural communities.
We are proud to have their support as we work towards a more inclusive future.
Why their support matters
Visibility can make a difference, particularly in places where LGBTQIA+ people may feel isolated or underrepresented. Seeing someone celebrate their identity openly can offer reassurance, build confidence and create a sense of belonging.
Our Patrons help bring that message to wider audiences. Their support helps more people discover East Coast Pride, understand why our work matters and find ways to get involved.
What our Patrons do
Patron activities are agreed individually and may include:
-
Raising awareness of East Coast Pride and the communities we serve.
-
Supporting fundraising appeals and campaigns.
-
Sharing our work through their networks and public platforms.
-
Joining charity events and celebrations where possible.
-
Helping us build connections with new supporters and partners.
Patron appointments are voluntary, recognising a shared commitment to equality, inclusion and dignity.

Jenna G
Skegness’ own Jenna G is a performer and host with a special connection to East Coast Pride. A returning Main Stage host, she was also part of our 2026 performance line-up, helping bring our community together for a day of celebration in Tower Gardens.
Her connection with our events extends beyond the annual festival, with Jenna also featured as the special cabaret performer for East Coast Pride’s Got Talent, celebrating local creativity and giving emerging performers an opportunity to shine. Jenna’s artistry and connection with audiences embody that spirit.
Her appointment recognises the role that performance and visibility can play in helping people feel welcome, build confidence and take pride in who they are.
Jenna was appointed as a Patron on 12 September 2026.
Through this voluntary role, she will help champion East Coast Pride’s commitment to equality, inclusion and dignity. Opportunities to support campaigns, fundraising, events and wider awareness will be agreed around her availability.
We are delighted to have Jenna’s support as we continue our work across Lincolnshire’s coastal and rural communities.
