Sophie Armitt – Co-Founder & Trustee
Hi! I’m Sophie and I’m 24 years old. I’m one of the co-founders of MaccPride and currently a Trustee for the charity. As a Trustee I am responsible to ensure that the aims and objectives of the charity are met and in line with the Charity Commission. During the MaccPride event I am usually escorting vehicles through the square to ensure everyone is safe whilst stalls set up. You may catch me having a little boogie whilst doing so. I’m a huge gaming nerd and love all things Marvel related.
