Manchester Village Pride is a community-owned LGBTQ+ Pride company. Run entirely by unpaid volunteers as a Community Interest Company (CIC), it was established after the uncertainty surrounding Pride in 2025, with the aim of returning the event to its roots. Backed by £120,000 in loans from local Village venues, it takes no private profit and is legally asset-locked to reinvest any surplus into grassroots queer activism.
