Our Core Values
At Burton Pride C.I.C, our values shape everything we do. We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and supportive community where everyone feels safe, respected, and empowered.
Inclusion for All
We believe that everyone, no matter their background, identity, or ability, deserves to feel welcomed and included. Our spaces are built on acceptance and mutual respect.
Celebrating Diversity
We embrace and celebrate people of all identities – including the LGBTQ+ community, different races, genders, religions, and cultures. Diversity makes us stronger and more united.
Supporting Neurodiversity
We proudly support and uplift neurodivergent individuals, including those with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and other conditions. We aim to create spaces that understand and support different ways of thinking and communicating.
Respect and Compassion
We treat everyone with kindness and dignity. Even when there are disagreements, we listen respectfully and aim to understand each other.
Uplifting Local Voices
Our work is led by the people of Burton. We want local voices to be heard and involved in shaping what we do – whether it’s events, campaigns, or day-to-day decisions.
Integrity and Transparency
We believe in honesty and being open about what we do. We keep our promises, communicate clearly, and stay accountable to our community.
Unity and Collaboration
We work together – not against – other groups, organisations, and individuals. We believe in partnership and teamwork to achieve real, long-term change.
Online Responsibility
We expect everyone involved with Burton Pride to act respectfully online. We do not engage in arguments or negativity, and we protect our community’s image with pride.
Safe and Empowering Spaces
All our events, meetings, and spaces are safe for everyone. We do not tolerate bullying, harassment, hate speech, or discrimination of any kind.
Ongoing Learning and Growth
We are always learning and improving. We welcome feedback and are committed to growing as individuals and as a community organisation.
By joining Burton Pride, you become part of a movement committed to respect, equality, and belonging. Together, we build a brighter, more inclusive Burton for all.
