Frequently asked questions

How do I join Proudly King's?

You can sign up to our newsletter to join Proudly King's and be the first to hear about our upcoming events. We are open to everyone at King's regardless of whether or not you identify as LGBTQ+.



When is your next event?

You can find all of our events here.



Do I have to pay to attend events?

No, they're free of charge. Sometimes we set a suggested donation if we are fundraising for a charity, but this is optional.



Can I bring a guest to one of your events?

Yourself and your guests - regardless of whether you are a part of the LGBTQ+ community or not - are welcome to attend all of our events. If your guests are not from King's you will need to sign them in at security if the event is on campus.



I have an idea for an event, could you host it?

We are member-led and so always welcome suggestions! Let us know here.



Can I become a member if I'm an ally/not LGBTQ+?

Absolutely.



I'm not getting your newsletters even though I signed up

Check your 'junk mail' and add Proudly King's as a trusted sender if you find us there. If you still can't find them then get in touch and we can re-register you or change your marketing preferences for you.



Can I get a Proudly King's email banner?

You can use this form to show your allyship to the LGBTQ+ community by making an ally pledge. Once you have shared your pledge, you can display the Proudly Kings banner in your email signature. The banner is a digital alternative to the rainbow lanyard. When you've completed the form, the Proudly King's team will email the banner to you. We aim to do this within 5 working days.



Can I collaborate with you on an event or campaign?

We love to collaborate with the King's community and beyond. Because our committee is made up of a small team of volunteers, we're not able to say yes to everything (as much as we would love to). If you would like to collaborate with Proudly King's, please complete the form. The more detail we have about your request, the easier it is for us to know if we can fulfill it. It might be helpful to have a look at our values on the homepage of our website: www.proudlykings.com. Once you've submitted your response, we'll get back to you as soon as we can.



Can I get a rainbow lanyard?

Yes, just submit a request here and please read the information surrounding them.
