The Bonds Between Us
We believe that community is everything and our LGBTQIA+ community has always been at the heart of Lucy & Yak.
We all need people around us who support and hold us. It might be in the family you have, but also in the friends that become family. Those people that whoever you love, however you identify, will be with you through it all.
No matter who you are, we all have one thing in common - we all want to be free to love and live how we choose to.
The Bonds Between Us celebrates the connections, the people and the communities that uplift, sustain and champion us.
The Collection
This year’s Pride collection has been designed by Amanda Lobos. Her captivating style is a reflection of her experiences as a young, Black bisexual artist and her vibrant, joyful and bold motifs are a desire to celebrate life and to encourage others to do the same.
The Charities
This year we’re thrilled to donate 100% of profits from this collection to three incredible charities we’re so proud to support:
Nai Bhor Sanstha is Rajasthan's first and leading LGBTQIA+ community based organisation, working for the rights of the community for the last twenty years.
Nutshell offers mental health support to the family members of trans and non-binary people. They find and fund therapy with one of their highly qualified therapists which can be received both in person and online. Nutshell is a family founded non-profit charity. Made up of sisters Lucy and Kitty and Dad, Nicky, a transgender woman. With family at its heart, their aim is to support the families of those on a trans or non-binary journey. Their experience as a family highlighted the lack of support and information available for Lucy & Kitty, as crucial passengers on Nicky’s journey. Nutshell is a space for those also on the journey.
ParaPride works to advocate for the visibility, education and awareness of LGBTQ+ disabled people. They are a grassroots organisation and started on the basis of a need to address the lack of inclusion for disabled people within the LGBTQ+ community; a need for more accessible LGBTQ+ spaces; and a need to promote body positivity around different bodies and being able to celebrate that.
