Celebrate the LGBTQIA+ Mardi Gras with Cerebral Palsy Alliance!

To celebrate diversity and inclusion across our organisation, Cerebral Palsy Alliance will be taking part in two Mardi Gras events in 2025: Fair Day on Sunday 16th February and the official Mardi Gras parade on Saturday 1st March 2025.
We are calling for volunteers who would like to participate in these events to help us spread awareness for LGBTQIA+ inclusion for people with CP and other disabilities.
Volunteer with CPA at Fair Day! 

On Fair Day, over 70,000 people head to Victoria Park to celebrate all things LGBTQIA+ with 200 food, retail and community stalls. CPA will have a stall and we need rostered volunteers from approx. 8am – 6pm. 

Fair Day is a great deal of fun – a chance to engage with all sorts of people and show off who we are and what we do! It is a very large-scale event with lots of live music and performances, displays and exhibitions. A huge celebration of the LGBTQIA+ community. Please note – due to the uneven terrain of some parts of Victoria Park, not all areas of Fair Day are accessible. 

Add your name to our volunteer roster for Fair Day HERE!
