Driving Pride Network - Shifting Inclusion Forward

About Us

Formed in 2021, Driving Pride is a professional network of people associated with the automotive industry who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans, or identify with other sexual and gender identities (collectively LGBT+) and those straight allies who support them.

Driving Pride is registered as a Community Interest Company, number 13984676.

Our Aims

Our aims were created when the network was founded, and provide a statement of the intent of the network. 

They provide a broad framework for our operations and activity.

Our Objectives

Our objectives are set by our committee each year, and provide the specific outcomes we hope to achieve, in support of our overall aims, in that year.

We are currently writing our 2022 objectives
