Welcome to Proud Baggies

July 2023. This month Proud Baggies role as a Third Party Hate Crime Reporting Centre was highlighted in a Sandwell Council video alongside other  local support groups. The video was produced as part of the #StopHateSandwell campaign designed to encourage victims and witnesses of hate crimes to come forward.

Join us every Friday from 7pm to 8pm throughout the year at the WBA Community Sports Hall, Halfords Lane, B71 4LG for fully inclusive and fun football sessions. All ages, abilities, genders welcome, LGBTQ+ and allies!

On June 25th, Proud Baggies were in residence in Dartmouth Park for the 2nd Sandwell Pride. The event was well attended and enjoyed by all with Proud Baggies' signing up over 100 new members! We look forward to 2024!

Proud Baggies were out in force at the annual Birmingham Pride parade on Saturday May 27th. Members joined regulars Baggie Bird and BoilerMan to walk the parade route in front of a crowd of thousands before ending up in the Gay Village for well deserved celebrations!
