Doncaster Pride – Chair’s Report to AGM

October 2023

Year two – Elmfield Park and what a great event we had!

The budget as always a challenge and some changes in the sponsor line up meant we took a little time securing the funds required to deliver what was our biggest event to date.

The numbers swelled to around 15,000 visitors and the challenges grew.

We also faced the challenge of delivering this Pride knowing we’d already started the planning and negotiations for UK Pride next year in 2024.

Changes to the layout from 2022 worked well and the event ran smoothly, with the exception of an extreme religious protest inside the Park during the event – with the help of massed security and the police it went without incident, but did take a lot of time dealing with it.

highlights of 2023

Great layout and engagement
A great day for the sponsors and the opportunity to show the new ones what we can do - in advance of the UK Pride year.
The introduction of Youth Pride – which was well received.
As always the volunteers

Improvements required for 2024

Security – particularly bag searches need to improve
Perimeter fence breaches need to be addressed
Overnight security needs to be tightened
On site parking requires a rethink

Requirements for 2024

Site arrangements need to be carefully considered
Opportunity to move to Town Field needs to be considered carefully
Fund raising needs to start early as the funds required for UK Pride will be challenging
Strengthen the planning process
Strengthen the team to meet the challenge ahead

Its fair to say what is coming is a huge challenge, and one that we, as a team, will face with the usual commitment and dedication.

It is remarkable to look at the growth and impact of the event some 16 years after the first event and reflect on the achievements of the many people that have given their time over years to bring us to the brink of UK Pride Host City.
