2024 Winner
Community Organisation Award: LGBT
Cornwall Pride is more than a single event; it is a movement of safer spaces, fostering inclusivity and support across the region. The journey began from the profound feedback, "This is the only day I feel safe," which inspired Cornwall Pride to create more than just an annual event. Celebrating diversity, Cornwall Pride hosts 11 community Prides annually and 20 pop-up Prides across isolated locations, featuring the world's only Pride Bus Tour. Supporting the community, they offer the only dedicated LGBTQ+ mental well-being services in Cornwall, collaborating with NHS social prescribers. Cornwall Pride raises awareness through intersectional inclusion training, and actively working with over 150 organisations. The mission is underpinned by the values, "Love Who You Want To Love & Be Who You Want To Be," aiming for a hate-free Cornwall. Dedicated volunteers, with diverse lived experiences, drive Cornwall Pride's impactful initiatives.
