The Pride Pledge
Over the last 15 years Cornwall Pride has been a shining beacon of visibility
and awareness of the LGBTQ+ and marginised communities across
Cornwall; however, we recognise that while visibility is important, it will take
much more to make our Duchy a better place for LGBTQ+ & marginalised
people to grow up, live and work in our beautiful Cornwall.
We are launching the Pride Pledge, as we ask all partners, supporters,
funders, advertisers & sponsors to sign our Pride Pledge – a short
statement outlining what it means to be a Cornwall Pride friend:
“As an Official Partner / Supporter of Cornwall Pride, we pledge our
organisation, group or business will be a safe, welcoming, and friendly
place for LGBTQ+ / marginalised members, staff, volunteers &
customers.
We will visibly support and promote justice for LGBTQ+/marginalised
people; have clear reporting mechanisms for harassment and
discrimination; and challenge homophobic, transphobic, bi-phobic,
misogynistic, racist and all phobic behaviour.
We will ensure our members, volunteers & staff are trained to
understand the experiences of LGBTQ+ / marginalised people and how
to be a proactive ally. ”
If you would like your organisation or business to sign up to our Pride
Pledge, you can find out more (along with other means to support us) by
accessing our Cornwall Pride Pack.

Our Partners:
Cornwall Federation of Women’s Institutes
The Cornwall Federation of Women’s Institutes (CFWI) is delighted to support Cornwall Pride. For many years, the WI has had an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion policy, but a piece of paper filed away on a shelf somewhere isn’t enough. We felt we needed to demonstrate visibly that we welcome all women as WI members, and that all women, including members of the LGBTQ+ community, would receive a warm welcome at any of our meetings and events. Cornwall Pride and CFWI hold the same ideals of inclusion and equality, so it makes sense for us to partner and show support for each other.
