Overview
🌈 About Proud2Be
Proud2Be is a grassroots, queer-led social enterprise that supports and enables LGBTQIA+ people in Devon and beyond to be free, safe, and proud to be ourselves.
🏡 Our Story
Twins Max and Maya Price founded Proud2Be in 2011, inspired by the bullying, isolation, and discrimination they experienced growing up queer in a rural village. What began as a bold video campaign has grown into a thriving social enterprise, building inclusive spaces and raising awareness across the UK.
