Isle of Wight Pride (IW Pride) started in 2017. The island also hosted UK Pride in 2018 after winning a competition to host the event, which moves around the UK each year.

The charity was formed on the principles of promoting equality and diversity for the public benefit, the elimination of discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity, raising awareness to the public about the issues and difficulties affecting the lives of LGBTQIA+ people, cultivating a sentiment in favour of equality and diversity and staging an annual LGBTQIA+ festival.
