It has been my great privilege to pen an opening statement to these annual reviews over recent years. In my rather poor attempt to string words and sentences together. I've always tried to open a small window into what's been going on at Manchester Pride - not just the things we've done but how we've done them and what we've learnt. As I ref lect on 2022,1 am lef t with the sense that this year has been one of genuine renewal for the charity. The hallmark of this was undoubtedly the Pride in Our Future report which we published early in the year. This gave trustees, and the charity's team, a clear understanding of what was on your mind and what we needed to do to betterdeliver on your expectations and aspirations. This was the larqest consultation we have ever conducted. and trustees would like to thank everyone who gave up their time to participate and give us views. As a result. 2022 was a yearof change. Once again community, activism and giving were placed at the heart of everything we (Jid. That meant a Manchester Pride Festival focussed on the Gay Village Party. That meant unprecedented levels of co-creation with our communities to curate what arquably was our most diverse programme of events and experiences. And that meant a return of the much loved Manchester Pride Paradewhich COVID-19 had put a stop to since 2019. Pride in Our Future also reminded us of the dangers of becofning compla¢ent. I think the reality is that as individuals and organisations go about doing what they do. they can inevitably drif t a little. That drif t is not purposèly done or malicious in intent. it is just a ref lection of life. Pride in Our Future gave the charity an opportunity to connect even more strongly with our LGB TQ+ communities and our place in the modern pride movement to ensure what we were doing was what you wanted. And as a result of what you said. we made choices. Yes, we changed the festival, but we did more. We chose to invest in more communication with you. more opportunities for you to input and more ways for us to campaign. That meant increased platforming of issues through our social media (including launching our first multi-media anti-hate crime campaignl. a new website and a set of e-newsletters to help queer communities stay informed of what we were doing on your behalf. However. the choice which I know was top of mind for trustees was the solution put in place around fundraising. Raising money for LGB TO+ good cau5e5 is at the heart of Manchester Pride. After all, it's why Manchester Pride was founded. But it wasn't always clear what proportion of Pride ticket sales went to good causes. 04 Chair's Statement In 2022, trustees sought to f ix this with a pledge to donate a set amount f rom each ticket sold directly to the Manchester Pride Community Fund to support grassroots and other LGBTQ+ charity partners across Greater Manchester. Trustees hope that change. along with even more information on where your ticket money goes. will provide people with greater transparency. As a result of this new approach, in 2022, people who chose to buy tickets for the Gay Village Party raised £114,653 directlyforthe Community Fund. So, there can be no doubt 2022 was a period of change. A time of rebuilding post-COVID-19, a time of choices made and a time when we were able to renew what we do on your behalf. And, if you will allow me a personal indulgence here, it was a time of change for trustees. At the end of 2022 Rob Malcomson. ourtreasurer. and I retired from the Board having served our terms and tf Ustees completed a formal recruitment process to appoint successors. I know we both feel it has been an immense privilege to have been part of this queer led organisation. We would like to thank our fellow trustees and Mark and his amazing team for all their partnership and efforts over the years and to wish those who come after us every success. As always, we would not be here and would not be able to do what we do without your support. So, to those who hold us accountable. champion us and aspire forus to be better, Id like to say thank you.

And 2022 was a year of change for Manchester Pride. Having consulted with our communities at large. we began the year by publishing the f indings of our largest consultation-Pride In Our Future". Collectively we harvested over 7,000 responses from people who helped to shape our bold plans and the charity's pledge to prioritise the needs identif led by Greater Manchesters LGBTQ+ communities. We're really grateful forthe number of people who gave time to share theirthoughts and suggestions of how they would like to see Manchester Pride continue to evolve and improve. Manchester Pride is committed to being a learning organisation and there was a great deal for us to review. consider and reflect upon. Being a member of the QTIPOClQueer Trans Intersex People of Colourlcommunity, I was par- ticularly struck by the sense of awareness and understanding within wider LGB To+ communities of the importance of prioritising the needs of queer people who are further marginalised. This is a therne which featured heavily in the design of our strategy. In setting out our strategy, the Board of TrLSStees established four key pillars to categorise our objectives for the year.. Community, Transparency, Activism and Giving. The clarity of purpose for the charitywas refreshed for our communities to own and we stepped out with our best foot forward, knowing that what we were aiming to deliver perfectly matched their priorities. Our strategy for 2022 was bold, queer and inclusive. We were thrilled to be in a position to deliver the Manchester Pride Conference in person which this year took place at The Lowry Theatre at Salford Quays. This event provided an opportunity for organisations, groups and individuals to learn more about the modern pride movement in general and understand how to support it all year round. We enjoyed a fantastic day of discussions, informative panels and workshops which all followed this year's theme"Greater Manchester, A City To be Proud In= Sustaining Greater Manchester's Legacy of pioneering LGBTQ+ rights". Our approach to Manchester Pride Festival 2022 was centred around greater collaboration and co-design. We provided greater opportunities for year round engagement with the charity through a series of community sessions, listening groups and f urther, proactive inclusion initiatives. Manchester Pride Festival 2022 was designed for our communities by our communities. 07 Chief Executive Statement Building on the success of the Gay Village Party in 2021, we set out to ensure that activism was f irmly rooted at the heart of our events and that we were focusing our efforts on supportir)g the priorities and needs of our most marginalised communities- QTIPOC and wider Trans communities. Some of the ways in which we achieved this were opening the weekend with an in-person Human Rights Forum. kicking off the weekend of performances with our Trans led and curated stage takeover°Trans Filth & Jof and cementing"Black Pride MCFf as a f irm f ixture on our stage line up. Pride is many things to many people. This remains one of the single greatest challenges to face when developing a strategy and outlining our plans for the year. We are committed to evolving and following the path that our communities ask us to follow. Throughout the history of our charity. Manchester Pride has evolved and continues to innovate in order to better represent our communities and their priorities. Having raised £114,000 we were particularly pleased to re-launch our grant schemes this year, targeting the under-represented and aligning with the priorities outlined by our communities. Like most charities, Manchester Pride was deeply affected by the pandemic. The repercussions continue to impact normal operations as we all attempt to adjust and settle into a new groove within a displaced world. I'd like to say a huge thank you to all of my team. our volunteers. the board of trustees, partners and stakeholders. Our work continues and the challenges we face are tough. Together we will push forward as we continue to make Manchester a City to be proud in.

To be charitable. a charity's purposes must.. fall within the descriptions of purposes be lor the public benefit Like many charities, we get our incorne from a variety of sources. including donations, some grants, and through the delivery of Manchester Pride Festival. Manchester Pride. similarly to many other charities. operates as a limited company and is fully audited. So, when you see reference to Manchestef Pride Limited, that means the charity. It is common for charities to have trading companies which generate incomelifs how many of the charity shops you see on the high street operatel. In the case of Manchesler Pride. our trading company doesn't run shops. it runs a four-day festival celebrating LGBTQ+ life. In the case of Manchester Pridelthe charity and limited companyl we have a subsidiary trading company loo. called Manchester Pride Events Ltd. Like Manchester Pride Ltd. Manchesler Pride Events Ltd is a not-for-prof it company. This company is registered with Companies House. is fully audited and is what is Called a'wholly-owned subsidiary.. That means any surplus generated by the cornpany is given directly to the charity which owns it and no other entity prof its frtsm its work.

The delivery of the Manchester Pride Festival is one of our most important charitable objectives.. it is celebration of LG8TO+ life in Greater Manchester and exists to campaign for greater LGB To+ equality both at home and abroad.

There are many ways Manchester Prlde as a charlty dellvers a publlc beneflt and Its charltable obje¢tive$. The most visible and famous Is the delivery of the Manchester Prlde Festlval. The Manchester Pride Festival is a four-day programme of events across August Bank Holiday which provides a very visible way for LGB To+ people to be out and proud in Manchester. The Manchester Pride Festival and Manchester Pride Chaflty are one and the same. The Manchester Pride Festival is delivered for the charity by its wholly owned and not-for-profit subsidiary company, Manchesler Pride Events Ltd. The Manchester Pride Festival is the principal way by which Manchesler 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. 11 4¥ Ll Why Is celebrating LGBTO+ life w important charitable obJe¢tlve? The Manchester Pride Festival is'party as protest.. Manchester Pride is part of the global LGBTQ. liberation movement. celebrating queer people, culiure and expression as loudly and publicly as possible in a ref usal to hide in shame. As a large-scale social movemellt. Pride has qrown exponentially in its SO. year history in the aims of a movemeni for LGBTO+ liberation. Greater Manchester has played a pivotal role in this and continues to do so today. from the anti-section 28 march in1988 to the campaigning and f undraising Manchester Pride undertakes year round. We live ir) an overtly heteronormative and cisnormative wodd-. a world which assumes that everyone is heterosexual and cisgender until stated otherwise. Historically, queer people were not seen as'less normal. than cisgender and straight people. but rather they were off the scale of 'normal' entirely. If someone was to dare identify as LGB TQ+ then they were some sort of deviant. sick. predatory pervert and therefore a threat to civilisation. tradition (like marriage). children, and society as a whole. These ideas about queer people pushed the LGBTO+ community into the darkest marqins of society, ostracising, silencing and erasing them wherever possible. We've come a long way, but the f iqht for queer liberation is far from over. With a rise in anti-LGB TQ+ hate crimes. rhetoric and legislation, it is more vital than ever that the Pride movement remains focussed on f ighting for a world where LGBTQ+ people are f ree to live and love without prejudice. The Manchester Pride Festival is a chance for us to draw attention to the issues facing LGB TQ+ people, show the world the vibrancy queer culture has to offer wider society. while also elevating anij providing paid work to talented queer and diverse artists. performers and producers from Greater Manchester and beyond. 11 Legal Status and Governing Documents Manchester Pride is a company limited by guarantee, charity registration number1117848 and company number 04671318. The Charity is governed by the memorandum and articles of association for the incorporated company as last amended on 19 December 2006. The Board are in the process of reviewing and updating the memorandum and articles of association as at the end of Ihis financial year. The directors of the charitable company are its trustees for the purpose of charity law and through this report are collectively referred to as Ihe trustees. The governing documents instruct the trustees to act in a way to promote the objectives of the Charity. Trustees Manchestèr Pride has WC*rked hard to reflect the diversity of its community on its trustee board. Thanks to a concerted recruitment efforl, we are privileged to have trustees from different backgrounds, genders. ethnicities. sexual orientations. gender identities and political persuasions. In Seplember 2021 the Board unanimously agreed to ask that Paul Wheeler and Rob Malcomson continue in their respective roles as Chair and Treasurer beyond their original term limits. Both were scheduled to retire in March 2022 and agreed to stay in their roles until November 2022. This decision was taken 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 sufficient time to identify suitable replacement Chair and Treasurer. In November 2022 follo￿ng an open recnjitment process. the Board was pleased to appoint a new Chair, David McGovern, an experienced director in the public and charitable sectors. In December 2022, following a further open recruitment exercise, the Board identified a new Treasurer, Jenny Harrison, an experienced finance director working in Ihe telecommunications industry. Jenny will be appointed to the Board at the AGM in March 2023. I2 Organisational Structure The Annual General Meeting of the Charity appoints new trustees and Honorary Off icers. appoints the auditors and considers ané adopts the annual report and f inaneial statements for the preceding year's activities. The Board of Trustees is ultimately responsible for the running of the Charity. The Board has the following structure of sub-committees-.

FiDan¢e and risk committee- financial oversight and managing the charity'5 risk register. FUr￿raISIng and grants committee- oversees the charitys grant giving activities. At the heart of Manchester Pride is the Manchester Pride Feslival. 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 icerlCEOI as the charity. and the financial and operational risk associated with the delivery of its festival. are too great for volunteer trustees to manage on a day-to-day basis. Trustees delegate operational delivery of the Charity to the CEO. Our Employees Headed by the Charity's CEO, the team at Manchester Pride has operational responsibility to deliver the Chaflty's objectives and ensure it provides a public benefit. Statting levels are agreed by the CEO and trustees based on a three-year plan and financial projections. In any given financial year. we have a small team of full-time employees. That team then expands as temporary expert staff are brought onboard to help with the delivery of Manchester Pride Festival. On an annual basis all employees are appraised. and they also receive regular training and coaching in support of their roles. At the end of 2022 Manchester Pride employed 16 people across three departments, Opèrations. Engagement and Marketing.

Pride In Our-Future:. pRIDt Your voices were heard. Following our in-depth community consultation. we're actively striving towards building you a better Manchester Pride. In February 2022 we announced details on the Charity's future direction and the priorities for the Manchester Pride Festival, following community consultation. The changes we implemented followed a six month review and ¢onsultation with the region's LGBTQ+ communities after some indicated the focus of our grant-giving no lonqer retlecteé some of the key causes that mattered most to them.
