Pride isn’t a celebration we take for granted. Not when trans rights are under attack. Not when LGBTQI+ communities globally face unprecedented pressure from those who seek to roll back decades of progress.
But here’s what we know: we’ve fought before. We’ve won before. And we will again.
The Paul Cottingham Trust exists because Paul Cottingham believed in something radical—that every LGBTQI person deserves dignity, respect, and the freedom to live authentically.
Since 2015, we’ve supported over 40 organisations across the UK, Poland, Ukraine, Kenya and beyond, funding advocacy, mental health services, youth mentorship, and critical research into trans wellbeing.
This Pride season, we recommit to that vision. We stand with trans people. We stand with those facing the greatest pressure. And we continue the work of building a world where pride isn’t just a month—it’s a fundamental right.
Pride is protest. Pride is progress. Pride is power.
