Spirit of Community
Celebrating the Spirit of Community. Our volunteers and donors are the lifeblood powering United Way Perth-Huron’s work in communities across our region.
Stratford Pride Community Centre
At United Way Perth-Huron, we believe in creating a brighter future for everyone. That is why we’ve committed to raising funds for the Stratford Pride Community Centre as part of this year’s annual campaign. Currently, we sit at 90% of our campaign goal and, with continued help from our community, we hope to reach our fundraising total so we can support core operations of the Centre.
Workshop: Understanding Transgender Identities & Gender Diversity
The workshop will cover topics including the history of transgender and nonbinary identities, common terms and symbols, and current issues gender diverse individuals face. Goals include learning how to support people throughout their transitions, and how to be more inclusive.
Coldest Night of the Year
