Governance

Pride Community Foundation CIC is a registered Community Interest Company, which means we are legally accountable to the community we serve, not to private shareholders or individual funders. Our assets are locked in the public interest, and our structure is designed to keep decision-making transparent, independent, and genuinely community-led.

The interactive diagram shows how our governance works in practice. At its centre is the Board of Directors, which holds ultimate legal and strategic responsibility for the organisation. Flanking the Board are two non-statutory bodies with no legal voting power but a meaningful role in how we operate: the Community Scrutiny Board, made up entirely of people with LGBTQ+ lived experience, which holds the CEO to account; and the Grants & Advisory Board, which guides our grant-making. Hover over any node to learn more about each role.

Below, you can read the documents that underpin our governance: our Articles of Association, which set out the legal rules by which we operate, our policies and partnership agreements, which govern our key organisational relationships.
