‘Gas Girls club secretary, Matthew Davies, said: “I am absolutely delighted to establish this partnership with such an inspiring organisation and charity like Bristol Pride.
“We’ve been in discussion with the team at Bristol Pride for a number of months and it was very clear that we all share the same community values and strive to challenge homophobia of any kind in society.
“To donate the front of this shirt to Bristol Pride and to be able to wear their brand is a huge honour and we’re really excited by what we’re able to achieve by working together in the future.”
