We’re bringing it home.
After the uncertainty of 2025, Manchester’s LGBTQ+ community has stepped up to reclaim our Pride.
We are Manchester Village Pride CIC. A new organisation. A new model. A new start.
Run by unpaid volunteers. Owned by the community. Back in the heart of Manchester’s Gay Village where it all began.
We’ve Done the Maths. You See the Results.
Trust is earned, not given. We know you’ve been let down before. That’s why we’re doing things differently. We are a Community Interest Company (CIC), not a corporation. That means we don’t have shareholders demanding a dividend. We have a community demanding a future.
