01 Chair's Statement Dear Supporter, I'm one of those people who believe things happen for a reason. Sometimeswe have a hand in events. sometimesthey are thrust upon us. and sometimes it's a combination of the two. But regardless of how they happen. circumstances can teach us something and ultimately help us to be better. That for trustees was the hallmark of 2021. We started the year with a COVID hangover. Like everyone and all organisations we continued to navigate the pandemic. The vaccine programme was still in its infancy and that meant very real questions remained about when. and if. the live events sector would return. Pride will always be a protest but the stark reality for our charity is that most of our funding comes from the successful delivery of the Manchester Pride Festival weekend - an event which relies upon our ability to create moments that bring large numbers of people together safely. Fortunately tests run by the events sector in Liverpool paved the way for the festival to return. albeit, with some important and necessary COVID related modification& We needed to create a space that was safe for people to gather, which wa5 COVID compliant and offered everyone a degree of security and reassurance. So that meant COVID passportchecksto get intothe Gayvillage Partyand MCFI Pride Live. It also meant parts of the programme had to be temporarily changed or suspended- like the parade. It was a great disappointment to the whole charity notto be able to put on the parade in all its usual glory. COVID aside, it was good to see the Augu Bank Holiday festivitip.% take place. It was good to be able to welcomethousands of people to Manchester citycentreto be out and proud and for Manchester to be awash again with rainbow colours. But when you strip it back. Pride is always about community- whether that's 10 people or10,000. And in 2021 we heard all the diversevoices and views ofthe communityspeak up loud and clear.
O'O Chair's Statement We had got thingswrong. Yes. we had brought backthe AugLJSt Bank Holiday weekend festivities, but things no longer felt right_ The charity had become disconnected from the community. The decisions we made around the funding of good causes likethe LGBTFoundation'scondom and lube Scheme and Geor9e House Trust disappointed you. We weren't open enough" we weren't communicating in the right way. This very clear feedback gave us the opportunity to improve and better deliver on your expectations. We kicked off our largest listening programme in more than a decade. Called Pride in Our Future. the review lasted from early Autumn until the end of 2021 and assessed the format of the August Bank Holiday festival and our role in giving money to good causes. Trustees look forward to seeing the results of the consultation in early 2022 and working with the team to respond to your views and aspirations. Pride belongs to us all and we are merely the humble custodians of that spirit for the future. That's why trustees hope Pride in Our Future will mark the beginnings of more co-creation, more transparency and more listening toyour needs. As always. our charity could not do what it does without you. To those people who champion us, hold us to account and aspire for us to be better. thank you. To our amazing team led by Mark. trustees offer a special thanks for your continued hard work and smiles. Supporters, this is our review and accounts for the 2021 financial year. With best wishes. Paul Wheeler. Chair ofrhe Board of Trustees

05 Chief Executive Statement Living through a time of such uncertainty I feel incredibly proud that Manchester was able to fly the flag for LGBTQ+ communities. Our celebration was the first large-scale UK Pride event to take place post-pandemic. Despite an optimistic start to Ihe year it was unclear whether we'd have to postpone all of our in person events again. so it was to our delight that we could deliver a programme of events that allowed our cornmunitiesto come together in person. However, I was also saddened by the unrest that stemmed from us not being as clear aswe had intended surrounding some of the decisions that our organisation had to make. As we returned from the pandemic it was clear that some of the priorities of our communities had shifted and we were unable to respond to this as quickly a5 we would have liked. Es*ntially, this meant that we got some things wrong and we're sorryforthis. We've always strived to be representative of all our communities, however the last year has made it clearer than ever that our communities are not homogenised and our needs are ever evolving. Manchester Pride has a dutyto ensure we can adapt to those ever changing needs so we can deliver events and initiatives that our communities can continue to be proud of. Whilst operationally the landscape was constantly changing, our team implemented strategies for survival whilst also introducing innovations to safely deliver the Manchester Pride Festival. with the ongoing threat of COVID-19 spoiling the best laid plans. During the planning stages for the festival we recognised that Greater Manchester LGBTQ+ artists and performers were in nee(1 ofsupport to maintain their careers after a time when live shows and large gatherings weren't possible. t)espite the challenges of the pandemic ourteam implemented a fundraising strategy which enabled usto deliver the first post pandemic large scale event to take place in the City. Thisyear's Gay Village Party saw an all queer linfrup, providing a platform for Manchester's incredble local talent. We'd like to say thanks to all of our supporters. donors and sponsor5 Wlthnut whom our festlvdl would not have been possible. An extra thanks goes to the headline Sponsor for Manchester Pride Festival.. Virgin Atlantic. At a time when it was not possible to fly freely and whilst they were facing the instability of the air travel industry, Virgin Atlantic stood by us cementing their commitment to supporting Manchester Pride as we continued to spearhead the Pride movement.
3 Chief Executive Statement After the festival, we embarked on the biggest consultation with Greater Manchester'sLGBTQ+ communities since the start of my tenure. We adapted the way we communicate and set out to provide as many opportunities as possible for people to have their say on the future of the Charity and the format of the Festival. Thank you to everybodywho took part in the consultation. One last shout out I'd like to make isto our dedicated group of passionate volunteers. Thank you for supporting us. we couldn't do this without you. Mark Fletcher. CEO, Manchester Pride

05 The Manchester Pride Charity Who we are Manchester Pride is one of the UK'S leading LGBTQ+ charities. We create opportunities to uplift queer communities and bring people together to celebrate LGBTQ+ life, while also campaigning for equality and inclusion across Greater Manchester. How we operate Manchester Pride is a charity, this means we are registered with The Charity Commission. and operate exclusively for charitable purposes. In orderto register with The Charity Commission we had to meet a fixed criteria. In England and Wales, a charity is an organisation that is= Established for charitable purposes only. and Subject to the High Court's charity law jurisdiction Defined as a charity in the Charity Act 2011 Purposes are what the charity is set up to achieve- they are explained in our governing document. To be charitable. a charity's pupose must Fall within the descriptions of purposes Be for the public benef it Like many charities, we get our income from a variety of sources, including donations, some grants, and through the delivery of Manchester Pride Festival. Manchester Pride receives no direct operational funding from Manchester City Council. Manchester Pride, similarly to many other charities, operates as a limited company. So, when you see reference to Manchesrer Pride Limited. that means the charity. It is common for charities to have trading companieswhich generate income (it's how many ofthe charity shopsyou see on the high street operatel. In the case of Manchester Pride. our trading company doesn't run shops. it runs a four-day festival celebrating LGBTQ+ life. In the case of Manchester Pride Ithe charity and limited company). we have a subsidiary trading company too, called Manchester Pride Events Ltd. Like Manchester Pride Ltd. Manchester Pride Events Lrd is a not-for-profit company. This company is registered with Companies House, is fvlly audited and iswhat is called a 'wholly-owned subsidiary,. That means any surplus generated bythe company is given directlyto the charity which owns it and no other entity profits from its work

What we deliver and its public benefit There are many ways Manchester Pride as a charity delivers a public benefit and its charitable objectives. The most visible and famous is the delivery of the Manchester Pride Festival. The Manchester Pride Festival is a four-day programme of events across August Bank Holiday which provides a veryvisible wayfor LGBTQ+ people to be out and proud in Manchester. The Manchester Pride Festival and Manchester Pride Charity are one and the same. The Manchester Pride Festival is delivered for the charity by its wholly owned and not-for-profit subsidiary company, Manchester Pride Events Ltd. The Manchester Pride Festival is the principal way bywhich Manchester Pride as a charity can deliver its charitable goals. as an organisation designed to help celebrate LGBTQ+ life and campaign for inclusion and equality across the city-region. Why is celebrating LGBTQ+ life an important charitable objective? The Manchester Pride Festival is'party as protest.. Manchester Pride is part of the global LGBTQ+ liberation movement. celebrating queer people. culture and expression as loudly and publicly as possible in a refusal to hide in shame. As a large-scale social movement. Pride has grown exponentially in its S0+ year history in the aims of a movement for LGBTQ+ liberation. Greater Manchester has played a pivotal role in this and continues to do so today. from the anti-section 28 march in 1988 to the campaigning and fundraising Manchester Pride undertakes year round. We live in an overtly heteronormative and cisnormative world., a world which assumes that everyone is heterosexual and cisgender until stated otherwise. Historically, queer people were not seen as'less normal'than cisgenderand straight people, but rather they were off the scale of 'normal' entirely. If someone was to dare identify as LGBTQ+ then they were some sort of deviant, sick. predatory pervert and therefore a threat to civil isation, tradition (like marriage). children. and society as a whole. These ideas of queer people pushed the LGBTQ+ community into the darkest margins of society, ostracising, silencing and erasing them wherever possible. We've come a long way, but the fight for queer liberation is far from over. With a rise in anti-LGBTQ+ hate crimes, rheroric and legislation. it is more vital than ever that the Pride movement remains focused on fighting for a world where LGBTQ+ people are free to live and love without prejudice.
06 What we deliver and its public benefit The Manchester Pride Festival is a chance for us to draw attention to the issues facing LGBTQ+ people. show the World the vibrancy queer culture has to offer wider society. while also elevating and providing paid work to talented queer and diverse artists, performers and producers from Greater Manchester and beyond. Procure services supplies LGBTQ+ businesses Manchester Festival instrumental economic impact Upskill people tr,aining volunteers LGBTQ+ allies ty:'i Legal Status and Governing Documents Manchester Pride is a company limited byguarantee, charity registration number 1117848and company number 04671318.The Charity is governed by the Memorandum and Articles ofAssociation for the incorporated company as lasr amended on 19 December 2006. The directors of the charitable company are its trustees for the purpose of chaTIty law and through this report are collectively referred to as the trustee& The governing documents instruct the trusteesto act in a way to promote the objectives of the Charity.
00 Trustees Manchester Pride has worked hard to reflect the diversity of its community on its trustee board. Thanks to a concerted recruitment effort. we are privileged to have tfustees from different backgrounds. genders, ethnicities. sexual orientations, gender identities and political persuasions. In March 2021 following an open recruitment process. the Board was pleased to appoint three new trustees.. Tim Westwood - A consultant and experienced non-executive director. His work focuses on Human Rights and tackling injustices and inequalities. Sharon Pegg- Company director and HR consultanr specialising in diversity and inclusion. Temi Adebayo- A technology risk consultant and former president and chair of the trustee board of the University of Salford Students Union. In September 2021 the Board unanimously agreed to ask that Paul Wheeler and Rob Malcomson conrinue in their respective roles as Chair and Treasurer beyond their original term limits. Both were scheduled to rerire in March 2022 and agreed to stay in their roles until September 2022. This decision wastaken in the best interests of the Charity to assist in its recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, to assist in implementing the Pride in Our Future Review and to allow suff icient time to identify suitable replacement Chair and Treasurer. The trustees receive no pay or monetary benefits nor do they have any financial links to the charity or any vested interests in its operations. including Manchester Pride Events Ltd. In the unlikely event that any conflict of interest arises. trustees declarethese annuallyand ad hoc.
09 Organisational Structure The Annual General Meeting of the Charity appoints new trustees and Honorary Officers, appoints the auditors and considers and adopts the annual report and financial statements forthe preceding year's aciivities. The Board of Trustees is ultimately responsible for the running of the Charity. The Board has the following structure of sub-committees: Performance and Governance Committee - It oversees the proper governance of the charity, along with the Chair- it helps to line manage the CEO and it ensures the charity delivers against its strategic goals. Finance and Risk committee- Financial oversight and managing the charit$ risk register. Fundraising and Grants Committee - Oversees the charit5 grant giving activities. At the heart of Manchester Pride is the Manchester Pride Festival. The delivery of a successful festival remains the main income source for the charity. without which it could not meet its charitable goals and objectives. The trustees employ a full-time Chief Executive Off icer ICEOI as the charity, and the f inancial and operational risk associated with the delivery of its festival are too great for volunteer trustees to manage on a day-to-day basi Trustees delegate operational delivery of the Charityto the CEO.
10 Our Employees Headed by the Charitls CEO, the team at Manchester Pride has operational responsibilityto deliver rhe Charity's objectives and ensure it provides a public benefit. Staffing levels are agreed by the CEO and trustees based on a three-year plan and financial projection& In any given financial year, we have a small team of full-time employee5. That team then expands as expert temporarystaff are brought onboard to help with the delivery of Manchester Pride Festival. On an annual basis all employees are appraised. arsd they also receive regular training and coaching in support of their roles. Ernployee Pay and Benefits The trustees of Manchester Pride set the pay and reward policy for staff, including the CEO. In doing so. we seek to meet our obligations as a charity with the desire to be a great place to work which attracts and reiains talented, passionate people who want to make a difference. The remuneration of staff is benchmarked against salaries paid by other charities and follows guidance from the National Council for Voluntary Organisations INCVOI. In addition, as our team land our CEO in particularl 15 charged with overseeing a complex not-for-profit organisation. we benchmark their salarie5 against the market rate we'd have to pay for these types of specialist Skills.
Manchester Pride Festival The country spent the first quarter of 2021 in lockdown with restrictions on large gatherings in place up until July. During the first halfofthe year we were uncertain about whether we'd be able to host an in-person event. We were thankful that the Government's test events proved that large scale gatherings could be executed safely. We had to adapt our plans quickly to ensure the Manchester Pride Festival adhered to the safety measures around COVID-19 compliance and to give our communities reassurance to celebrate with us after a year's hiatus. Our ticketed events. whether free to attend such as Superbia and Youth Pride MCFI, or those that require a purchase such as the Gay Village Party and MCR Pride Live, meant that we were able to operate COVID-19 passporr checks prior to entry. However it did mean that the mass participation event with no attendance controls, the Manchester Pride Parade, could not be held in its usual format. It was a great disappointment to the whole charity not to be able to put on the parade in all its usual glory. However. we did create our Equality Marches which allowed our communities to take to streets and showsupport for a variety of issues affecting LGBTQ+ Communities. We are very proud to have hosted the first large scale Pride Festival event post- pandemic and welcome 65,000 people to Manchester city centre on what was a very hot and sunny August Bank Holiday weekend. The Manchester Pride Festival 2021 was our boldest, queeriest, most diverse celebration yet. We were also able to breathe a sigh of relief after what was an incredibly challenging time for the Charity whose main source of income is the Manchester Pride Festival. We eagerly move forward and will continue to rebuild our reserves to their pre-pandemic levels to ensure the longevity of the Charity. . • 4¢•akS16

We all felt the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic bur for some groups, the negative impact was more severethan for others. Wewere able to bring back the Manchester Pride Festival weekend festivities, but for some, the way we celebrated and protested no longer met their needs. The pandemic has drawn more attention to structural inequalities and in turn, has seen the rise of activism and protests. More than ever we see our communities wanting to speak out for the human rights of our intersectional communities. The result meant that our communities felt events like MCR Pride Live were less important, and the postponement of the Parade was greatly felt by many.
l2 Pride in Our Future Manchester Pride has been dedicated to campaigning. celebrating, raising awareness and supporting the LGBTQ+ community for the past two decades. growing into one of the leading charities of its type in the UK. COVID had a devastating impact on our organisation. reducing our income to nil during 2020 following the postpor)ement of the Manchester Pride Festival. our main source of income. fRIDt This meant that some tough decisions had to be made in order to safeguard our very existence, some of which came to light this year, when it was announced we had reduced grant funding to some of our charity partners. We recognised that this decision was not clearly communicated to our communities and that the decisions were not all universally popular. While we are thankful that this year's event was able to take place. as an organisation we realise it is vitally imF)Ortant that we are transparent in everything we do. We want to give the LGBTQ+ community and our other stakeholders a voice that can be heard. After the Manchester Pride Festival 2021 we undertook our biggest consultation project. calling on our communities to have their say and shape the future of the charitys direction. All our stakeholders were invited to engage with the Pride in Our Future consultation which enabled a range of views to be heard and actively considered by Trustees. This included our grant making policy for 2022 and beyond,. as well as gathering insight on the further development of the format and delivery of the Manchester Pride Festival. The consultation was open for two months. during which we gathered information from a range of sources to give as many of our stakeholders the opportunity to contribute. Stakeholders eould contribute feedback via: Publicly available surveys- digital and print Dedicated telephone line Digital listening groups- open to all Dedicated inbox for open feedback Afull day consultation session
Pride in Our Future In addition to the consultation. the Charity hosted round table discu55ion5 With other Pride organisations and liaised directly with community groups and corporate partners across the city to gather insight to further develop Manchester Pride's advocacy. Insight, opinions and comments were collated, analysed and reported by an independent reviewer. Mustard Research. As 2021 drew to a close, the Manchester Pride Board ofTrustees regrouped to consider the findings and our Performance and Governance Committee oversaw the implementation of the review, whilst the operational delivery was handled bythe Manchester Pride Staff Team.

Volunteers Without the invaluable support of our incredible volunteers, we wouldn't be able to do the things we do for LGBTQ+ communities. In 2021, Manchester Pride expanded its volunteer programme to provide more opportunities for people to develop their skills and to meet the needs of the growing Manchester Pride Festival. We expanded our recruitment in 2021, reaching more volunteers from diverse backgrounds and providing important ski115 training and development.

i• Grant Giving One of Manchester Pride's chariiable objectives is to make funding support available to LGBTQ+ causes across Greater Manchester. The moneythe Charity givesto good causes comesfrom two place l. Money given as a direct donation to the Manch•ster Prlde Community Fund. Whether through bucket collection at our events, or via the online Just Giving platform, money that is given directly as a donation is always redistributed in full via our grants programme to LGBTQ+ charities. grassroots organi5ations and other LGBTQ+ good causes. These donations never go towards the running costs ofthe charity or the Manchester Pride Festival. 2.Surplus generated by the Charity. On top of the money donated to the Charity. and as part of its annual budget process, trustees agree to allocate a portion of the Charity's income directly to its grant making programme. This portion will be agreed once the Charity has met its obligations to employees and suppliers. and appropriate money has been allocated to reserves in line with the Charit5 reserve policy and Charity Commission best practice. Grants awarded in 2021 In 2020 Trustees reviewed the long term giving choices for the 2021 financial year and beyond. The lack of income from the Festival in 2020 meant the Charity was operating in survival mode, subsidised by a Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan ICBILI and byalso receiving funding from the Culture Recovery Fund. utilising reserves and reducing expenditure. Sadly this also meant making some staff redundancies. Despite this we were still able to award pledges to both George House Trust and LGBT Foundation. £10,000 PLEDGED TO EACH GEORGE HOUS-TRUST LGBT iv posiit¥t *lYl¥G foundation
l9 Financial Review Manchester Pride is a charityand has no shareholders.All income generated bythe charity is retained by the charity to help it deliver its charitable objectives. It generates income from a variety of sources including from direct donations and some grants. However the main source of income to enable u5 to deliver our charitable objective5 comes from its not-for-profit trading company. Manchester Pride Events Ltd, which organises the Manchester Pride Festival. Financial Control Budgets are presented and approved at the beginning of the financial year and monitored throughout the year. Following good governance practices. Manchester Pride has appointed new external and independent auditors. As part of the audit of the 2021 financial statements. number of adjustments to the unaudited prior year accounts were agreed to reflect appropriate accounting standards. Reporting Requirements Management accounts are reviewed monthly by the trustees, along with statements on cash and reports on income generation and expenditure against budget. Staff ar)d other management issues are reviewed by the Board. So far as is possible and in line with best practice, the Board focuses on the strategicdirection of the organisation and its governance. In this context. from time to time the trustee5 and senior managers meet for longer periods for business planning purposes. Reserves Policy As at 31 December 2021, the Group has net current assets of £210.I8312020.' net current liabilities £30,468) and net liabilities of Q.41112020'. £301.6621. The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the charit$ ability to deliver its charitable activities in 2020 and 2021. The Charity has taken measures to remain a going concern. These include receiving a Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan ICBILI, receiving funding from the Culture Recovery Fund, utilising reserves. staff redundancies. reducing expenditure and enhanced budget oversight.
19 Financial Review The Charity has a medium term financial plan to further diversify income streams, respond flexibly to the ongoing pandemic and rebuild reserves over a three year basis. During 2022. the Charity has been able to return to delivering its activities as it did prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. At the time of approving the f inancial statements. the Trustees have reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate reserves to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The directors therefore consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the* financial statements.
