Cornwall Pride CIO's Charitable Aims

Cornwall Pride is a registered charity: 1191003

Cornwall Pride is a charity driven by a team of dedicated trustees, community leaders and subject matter experts committed to supporting and empowering our local LGBTQ+ community.

With a host of Pride events reaching far flung communities across the Dutchy, our safer spaces and initiative and training delivery program, our goal is to create a hate free Cornwall, where everyone is free to be who they want to be.

We also collaborate with LGBTQ+ groups across the Duchy to host regular, accessible events that foster acceptance, inclusivity, and belonging. These events provide safe spaces where people can connect, build friendships, and celebrate their authentic selves.

Our Aims

We are committed to promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion by supporting education, eliminating discrimination, and advocating for mental health—particularly in relation to sexual orientation, gender identity, and romantic orientation. Our focus extends to residents and visitors in Cornwall, as well as relevant national and international communities.
