Croydon Pride

Croydon Pride strives for LGBT + tolerance and equality within Croydon's diverse communities by staging inclusive events. We are a UK-registered charity (1173230) and a company limited by guarantee (10555864), and any surplus funds we raise are reinvested back into the charity. We are responsible for organising Croydon PrideFest – London's second largest Pride Festival – which has firmly become marked in south London's LGBTQ + calendar of events. We established ourselves as a charity in May 2017 with the purpose of keeping Croydon PrideFest a free event for all over the coming years. Croydon Pride receives no core government funding and funds are instead raised in a variety of ways including donations, sponsorship and fundraising events. Our activities provide a platform for every part of Croydon's LGBT + community to be visible, to raise awareness of LGBT + issues and campaign for freedoms that will allow Croydon's LGBT + community to lead genuinely equal lives in the borough. We aim to promote equality and diversity and to eliminate discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation or gender identity by: 1. Raising awareness of discrimination, issues and difficulties affecting the lives of Croydon's LGBT + community. 2. Cultivating a local culture of equality and diversity by celebrating the achievements and diversity of Croydon's LGBT + community. 3. Advancing education in LGBT + equality and diversity;4. Associating with voluntary organisations, governmental /public and /or private bodies to maximise the effectiveness of voluntary organisations working for LGBT + equality and diversity; 5. Staging and promoting LGBT + events, including the annual Croydon PrideFest. 6. Providing support for equality of access for members of Croydon's LGBT + community to sports, training, employment, business or similar opportunities where there are barriers. 7. Foster understanding between Croydon's diverse communities. 8. Conduct, commission and publish research on Croydon LGBT + diversity issues.
