- Discussions on LGBT+ topics 

- Picnics 

- Film nights 

- Craft projects 

All the activities are organised with the input of LGBT+ young people who attend the youth groups. All the activities are organised for the benefit of LGBT+ young people and help LGBT+ young people to be part of a social network where they can express their sexuality or gender identity. Being part of the activities enables LGBT+ young people to have their physical and mental health preserved and protected. It is hugely positive to see LGBT+ young people feeling empowered and able to be themselves. Many of the young people we work with have experienced homophobia, biphobia or transphobia, and really benefit from having a social outlet where they are accepted for who they are and can receive support and guidance. 

## **Proud Parents** 

Proud Parents is a monthly group in Leamington Spa for parents and families of LGBT+ people, as well as parents who are LGBT+. The purpose of the group is to educate and support parents and families of LGBT+ people so they are more equipped to support their LGBT+ family members. Proud Parents helps to advance education and raise awareness of LGBT+ issues, while also offering resolutions for parents and family members of LGBT+ people who wish to support their family members. There is also a Proud Parents Facebook group and that enables parents and families of LGBT+ people, plus parents who are LGBT+, to interact and seek advice and support. 

## **TransTogether** 

TransTogether is a monthly social and support group for trans people. It meets in Leamington Spa once a month. The group provides a social outlet for trans people. Advice and support are also provided to those who need it. Many trans people are socially isolated, marginalised, and experience a high level of hate. TransTogether provides a safe, social space where trans people can be themselves, explore their identity, and meet other trans people. 

## **Other social and support groups** 

LGBT+ coffee mornings for adults have been running in Leamington Spa, Stratford-upon-Avon, Rugby and Nuneaton. The coffee mornings provide a safe, social meeting space where attendees can explore and express their identity, while also receiving advice, support and guidance. 

We have also started to run monthly LGBT+ book clubs in Leamington Spa and Stratford-upon-Avon, and a quarterly LGBT+ movie club in Leamington Spa. The activities provides a social outlet for LGBT+ to bond over a common interest.

## **LGBT+ counselling service** 

In the summer of 2023, we were fortunate to receive funding support to begin an LGBT+ counselling service. This provides a source of support for LGBT+ people to work through their problems and improve their mental health. The service has been well subscribed, with many LGBT+ people accessing it and achieving positive outcomes. **Telephone and email support** For people unable to attend groups or events we organise, we’re able to provide information, guidance and support via email and telephone. This form of support has seen a large increase in usage over the past 12 months, with more complex issues being discussed and many people experiencing loneliness, isolation and mental health challenges. However, we are currently able to keep up with the demand and view it as a positive that this service exists for people who may otherwise have nobody to talk to or receive support from. **Organising the Warwickshire Pride festival and other events** 

The Warwickshire Pride festival took place on Saturday 17[th] August 2024. The festival featured an array of stalls, performances and entertainment, various activities, and educational opportunities. The festival was well attended, with the largest crowd since the event began in 2013. The Warwickshire Pride festival provides a safe, social space where people can explore and express their sexual orientation or gender identity. Being able to express their sexuality or gender identity in a safe space results in the physical and mental health of such people being preserved and protected. 

The Warwickshire Pride festival also aims to eliminate discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation or gender identity by raising awareness in equality and diversity, with a focus on sexual orientation and gender identity. During the organisation of Warwickshire Pride there is a lot of partnership working with organisations such as Warwick District Council, Warwickshire County Council, Warwickshire Community & Voluntary Action, the Equality and Inclusion Partnership, and a multitude of other local providers and community groups to raise awareness of LGBT+ issues and the needs of LGBT+ young people and adults. 

Mini-Pride events took place in Rugby and Stratford-upon-Avon, meaning the charity had a presence in other parts of the county. 

## **Equality campaigning and protests** 

Due to a perceived and actual rise in the number of hate crimes against LGBT+ people in Warwickshire, there has been a lot of campaigning to raise awareness of the issue of hate crime, to inform the LGBT+ community of how to report hate crime, and also

to lobby the Police and local authorities to do more to protect the LGBT+ community. 

The campaigns and protests we run provide a space for LGBT+ people to express their sexuality or gender identity while raising awareness of the issue of hate crime. They also aim to lessen and eventually eliminate discrimination on the grounds of sexuality or gender identity. 

## **Supporting LGBT+ young people in schools and colleges** 

We continue to be contacted by young people who are victims of homophobic, biphobic or transphobic bullying at school. As a result, we created and sent an LGBT+ toolkit to every school in Warwickshire to support those schools to support their LGBT+ students. The toolkit is reviewed annually and sent to all schools in Warwickshire at the start of each academic year. 

We have also delivered LGBT+ awareness talks and workshops in schools directly to students. Some schools have contacted us to ask that we attend to support their LGBT+ students directly on a 1- 1 basis. This is something we have been doing where possible and as a result it empowers young people to express their identity in a safe space, while receiving the support they need. 

With an increasing number of schools engaging with us, we are hopeful that more LGBT+ students will receive the support they need. **Delivery of LGBT+ awareness training** We have been delivering a series of LGBT+ awareness training sessions to voluntary, public and private sector organisations across Warwickshire. This is enabling team members from those organisations to become more aware of LGBT+ topics, including terminology and how to make their organisations more inclusive for LGBT+ people. This not only promotes equality and diversity in Warwickshire for the public benefit, but also preserves and protects the physical and mental health of LGBT+ people who access the organisations we have trained. 

Our training continues to be in demand, with that demand only increasing as time goes by. For example, we have been commissioned by Coventry & Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust to deliver LGBT+ awareness training for the next three years. 

## **Marking awareness days/weeks** 

It was recognised that more could be done to mark LGBT+ themed awareness days and weeks. We once again marked Trans Day of Remembrance with a vigil. We also marked LGBT+ History Month with a series of events and social media posts that particularly focused on Warwickshire’s LGBT+ history.

We have also marked other LGBT+ related awareness days and weeks with social media posts and Zoom sessions to bring the community together. 

## **Food parcels and warm packs** 

In December 2020, it was identified that some LGBT+ people in Warwickshire were living in poverty and not able to afford to buy food or hygiene products. Thanks to an initial donation of food by Stratford-upon-Avon foodbank, food parcels were delivered to LGBT+ people in need at Christmas. Since then, there has been further demand for food support and access to hygiene products from LGBT+ people across Warwickshire. Further food parcels were delivered thanks to a donation from Morrisons in Leamington Spa. There is still demand for this support and we have continued to deliver food parcels to those in need. As well as having food and hygiene products available to deliver to people in need, thanks to donations, we are also able to signpost people to other sources of support so they are able to work towards their situation improving. 

We have also started to deliver warm packs to LGBT+ people who cannot afford to have their heating on. There has been a large takeup for that and it’s anticipated the need will arise again when the colder months arrive. 

Delivering food parcels and warm packs has enabled us to preserve and protect the physical and mental health of LGBT+ people who have received them. 

## **Outreach and community engagement** 

Another activity we have continued is regular Zoom engagement sessions with external organisations. The sessions are for LGBT+ people to learn about other forms of support, activities and opportunities that are available to them beyond the support that Warwickshire Pride provides. Examples of sessions that have taken place are hearing from Healthwatch about how to feedback about experiences of accessing health services, a counselling charity discussing their LGBT+ inclusive service, an organisation talking about hate crime, what it is and how to report it, and a substance misuse charity advising on drug and alcohol awareness. The sessions provide an opportunity for LGBT+ people to express their identity, but also it feeds into preserving and protecting the physical and mental health of the LGBT+ community. 

Thanks to funding from a local NHS trust, we were able to recruit a community engagement worker whose focus was to secure more referrals from LGBT+ people into the NHS talking Therapies service. The engagement worker also explored the challenges and barriers that LGBT+ people experience when trying to access NHS Talking Therapies. Funding for the role came to an end in 2025. 

Thanks to funding the NHS CCG, we have been able to run a Long Covid engagement project to support the needs of LGBT+ people who are experien

## **Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees of Warwickshire Pride** 

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the accounts of Warwickshire Pride (the Charity) for the year ended 05/04/2025. 

## **Responsibilities and Basis of Report:** 

As the Charity Trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011(the Act). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all of the applicable directions given by the Charities commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent Examiners Statement:** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. Accounting Records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. The accounts do not accord with those records. 

I have no other concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination, to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. 

Signed: **Antony Davies Mhort(RHS), DipHort(Dist), SCD(HONS), Dip RSA, CertEd, Fi Hort.**
