At an Extraordinary General Meeting on 15 August 2023, a special resolution was passed to update the Articles of Association which had previously been formally accepted by Companies House in 2012. Oxford Pride Group Ltd is governed by two documents; Articles of Association which incorporates the Memorandum of Association; and Policy, Organisation & Rules (the Bylaws also known as PORs).
Oxford Pride exists to promote equity and diversity, advance education and eliminate discrimination in relation to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex and Asexual people plus those of other sexual orientations, gender identities or expression, and sex characteristics (LGBTQIA+), in particular but not exclusively, those resident in Oxford or Oxfordshire, for the benefit of the public by raising awareness of issues affecting these persons, in particular by producing and promoting regular events, including an annual LGBTQIA+ festival, and making grants and/or donations to other charitable and voluntary organisations, with the object of developing an environment in favour of LGBTQIA+ equity by providing information, entertainment and support.
Oxford Pride is governed by a Board of Trustee-Directors, who also serve as the legal members of the charity. All key decisions are made by the Board, supported by an appointed Committee. We’re proud to recognise exceptional support we received through our Founding Members and Patrons and welcome all community allies to become Friends of Oxford Pride – a way to stay connected, get involved, and support our work throughout the year.
