CI Pride
We're proud to be supporters and the founding sponsor of Channel Islands Pride.
We’re incredibly proud to have stood alongside CI Pride since day one. As founding sponsors of this vibrant event, first launched in the Channel Islands back in 2015, it represents how we’ve championed the celebration of diversity and inclusion across our communities in Jersey and Guernsey for many years.
This commitment runs deeper than sponsorship. It’s a reflection of who we are as a community-focused organisation. Whether you're a colleague, a CI Coop member, or simply popping in for your everyday essentials, we want you to feel welcome, respected, and celebrated for who you are.
For over 100 years, the CI Coop has been part of island life, deeply connected to the communities we serve. But we’re not standing still. Our vision is, and always has been, to make a meaningful difference to islanders’ lives, and that means constantly evolving to reflect the diversity around us.
We’re proud to be an accredited DIFERA employer through Liberate, a mark of our ongoing work to create a workplace grounded in Diversity, Inclusion, Fairness, Equality, Respect, and Acceptance. For us, it's more than a set of values, it’s how we operate every day.
Our Society is all about our people. We want people to feel heard, recognised and valued - whilst also focusing on our colleague’s wellbeing, engagement and job satisfaction. We believe in encouraging and embracing our people to be their authentic selves at work, regardless of background, identity, or label. When people feel free to express themselves, creativity thrives. That benefits not only our business but also the wider community we’re here to support.
We’re a unique organisation that intrinsically believes in being fair and doing good. And a successful Pride event is good for our community. Pride builds community spirit and brings us together.
So, what better time to celebrate together than at Channel Islands Pride?

Join us on Saturday 21 June 2025 in People’s Park, where we’ll be marking this milestone with pride and positivity.
Look out for our Coop Community Van offering a tasty selection of refreshments and visit the Coop Pharmacy team for free Wellness Checks from 2–4pm.
Let’s continue building a community where everyone belongs. Here's to 10 years of Pride - and many more to come.
We wish everyone involved a great CI Pride weekend!
