Southampton Pride in Business Network

Southampton Pride is a completely volunteer lead organisation with none of our family being paid for the work we do. Without the hard work of our incredible volunteers, our event simply could not operate.

Who Are We?

We are a Southampton based network supporting, educating and advocating for LGBTQ+ employees, their allies and their employers.

How do we benefit our members?

We give access to a hub of information, designed on helping employers attract, engage and retain your LGBTQ+ employees.

We invite members to our regular networking and educational workshops and talks underpinning the importance of diversity at work, as well as offering expert help and resources.

We help organisations to ensure they are supporting and understanding their LGBTQ+ employees.

We help organisations ensure they are confidently meeting their pledges around diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

We donate all of our proceeds to Southampton Pride, allowing all of our members to take part in the event and support it financially, which members can then talk to their employees and clients about.

How does it all work?

We accept members from all industries at any time of the year, for a rolling 12 month subscription.

We will give you access to our information hub and communicate with you about our networking events and our educational workshops.

We will charge you monthly, via direct debit.

Southampton Pride CIC
Sponsorship & Partnership Policy
Southampton Pride CIC values the active participation of corporate partners and sponsors
who provide essential support, resources and finances to enable us to deliver our events
and activities for the local LGBTQ+ community.
As an organisation rooted in equality and human rights, our values run through everything
that we do and this includes our partnership and sponsorship agreements. We have a high
ethical standard that we apply in considering a potential partner or sponsor, and we expect
those partners and sponsors with whom we work to maintain this ethical standard. All
partners and sponsors must have demonstrable experience showing their genuine
commitment to LGBTQ+ equality in their organisation.
An authentic commitment to LGBTQ+ equality cannot be viewed through a narrow lens that
excludes other human rights, social justice and equality issues, and our ethical standard
reflects our unwavering commitment to the widest spectrum of equality and human rights
causes.
Partners and sponsors do not influence the policy or operation of Southampton Pride CIC. In
view of our commitment to transparency, all partners and sponsors are listed in full on our
website.
We will not enter into partnership or sponsorship arrangements with companies who:
• Manufacture or promote products or services which are prohibited from public
advertisement, sponsorship or promotion as ruled by the United Kingdom
government.
• Manufacture or sell weapons or arms unless they are manufactured solely for
recreational purposes (i.e. sport shooting) and subject to controlled sale to avoid
their purchase by individuals, regimes or organisations with malintent
• Promote alcohol in a way that does not meet standards set by the United Kingdom
government in relation to consumption, advertising, marketing and age of sale
• Manufacture their core products in countries where homosexuality is illegal unless
the company has a stated policy and provides support to LGBTQ+ employees within
their organisation, regardless of country of residency.
• Financially, verbally or in any other way support regimes or organisations that violate
human rights
• Directly or indirectly violate the European Convention on Human Rights or the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights
• Directly or indirectly violate recognised international treaties or standards on the
protection of the environment
• Engage in unethical profiteering schemes or lending practices that target those with
a low socio-economic status
This is not an exhaustive list and an assessment will be made on each potential partner or
sponsor.
