Manchester Village Pride

Manchester Village Pride is a community organisation based in Manchester, United Kingdom working on lgbtq+, arts & culture, community development.

Manchester Village Pride CIC is a community interest company that runs Pride events in Manchester's Gay Village and across the city. It is run by unpaid volunteers and organised with an asset lock, so its assets cannot be sold for private gain and any surplus from the festival is reinvested into grassroots grants for local LGBTQ+ groups. Its Pride programme includes a parade, a free-entry vigil, family and community days, and a city-wide Pride Fringe of events, screenings and parties. The organisation is governed in part by a Community Advisory Board, which holds a golden share and includes trans advocacy groups, QPOC leaders, Village residents and artists. Its asset lock partners are George House Trust, akt, The Proud Trust, LGBT Foundation and Sparkle. The organisation is based at Lee House in Manchester, England.
