## **O U R C H A R I T A B L E P U R P O S E**
## We exist to…
## ~~**…promote equality and diversity** for the beneft of the public, including by:~~
- the elimination of discrimination in particular on the grounds of sexual orientation or gender identification;
- advancing education and raising awareness in equality and diversity;
- promoting activities to foster understanding between people from diverse backgrounds (in particular in respect of their sexual orientation or gender identification); and
- cultivating a sentiment in favour of equality and diversity.
## ~~**…promote social inclusion** for the beneft of the public by:~~
preventing people from becoming excluded (particularly as a result of their sexual orientation or gender identification), relieving the needs of those people who are socially excluded (particularly as a result of their sexual orientation or gender identification) and assisting them to integrate into society.
## **O U R O B J E C T I V E S A N D A C T I V I T I E S**
## We are…
## ~~**Improving health and wellbeing**~~
## ~~**Supporting better employment**~~
Clearly, by helping people access support for a range of needs there is personal benefit to them and their families. These benefits include reduced isolation, improved health and increased income from employment. This benefit is incidental to the wider public benefit and, indeed, a necessary prerequisite to the realisation of the benefits to LGBT+ people and the public our organisation aims to achieve.
Through volunteering, participation and performance, our events can help increase the skills of vulnerable LGBT+ people.
## ~~**Building a stronger voluntary sector in the Cambridge**~~
## ~~**Providing opportunities for communities to come together and to bring about change**~~
The charity’s events aim to bring large groups of people together to help build tolerance and understanding of the things that make us all different.
This is ‘gay pride’ for a modern era aiming to build social cohesion. Our unique family-oriented events make a real difference – especially for people living in the rural East of England – by providing a safe, accessible environment that embraces all aspects of diversity including sexuality, race, age and gender.
We particularly seek to include partners who provide services that meet the needs identified by LGBT+ people in the recent needs assessment, for example health (including mental health), education, safety/crime, employment and tackling bullying and harassment.
We seek feedback from people who attend our events, and the LGBT+ community more widely, to asses which elements they found most helpful, which less so and whether other elements should have been included. Together with the needs assessment and other research evidence, we use that feedback to target specific partners and projects to include within the overall programming for events.

## ~~**Event cancellations**~~
At the end of 2019 we began planning Cambridge Pride 2020. The event was expected to have taken place in June 2020 and we had made plans for the event to be similar to the previous year but with some key changes and improvements that took our learnings into account from the first event in 2019.
Although we initially continued planning during the first few months for 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic we decided that it would not be appropriate for us to continue. We cancelled the event due to the uncertainty around safety and financial concerns.
It was our responsibility to protect the funding we would be securing. Due to the uncertainty around the pandemic at that time, we were operating in an environment where we could not make any guarantees.
The pandemic also brought changes to everyday life for our board and volunteers. We took this into account in our decisions to pause any projects we were planning.
## ~~**Recruitment**~~
We are currently recruiting for a Treasurer.
## ~~**Looking ahead**~~
We made a decision to hold all events until we could be sure that we were taking the most responsible approach possible and not risking health or finances.
We tentatively considered plans for holding Cambridge Pride in the summer of 2021, but these plans were also put on hold due to the continued uncertainties due to the pandemic. With in-person pride events not taking place, the team began considering alternative approaches to meeting our charitable aims in 2021. We will report on those in our 2021 annnal return.
The cancellation was necessary to ensure the safety of our team and the public.
