The Board of Trustees met 4 times this year (May, July, September 2024, and March 2025. We started and finished the year with 8 trustees. There were no changes to the make-up of the board. Our total income was £26,819, of which £25,000 was funding from MOPAC, £1352 was through donations, and £467 raised through fundraising (Rainbow Lottery). We marked the 25th anniversaries of the three nail bomb attacks on Brixton, Brick Lane and Soho on the 17th,24th and 30th April 2024. All three events saw an increase in attendance with over a thousand people attending the Soho anniversary. Our Rainbow Boroughs Project “Pride Marching Group” took part in the Pride in London Parade carrying the “Admiral Duncan Memorial Banner”. 19 people walked with us this year. We secured a three-year funding agreement with MOPAC totalling £75,000 which will be paid in three payments of £25,000 over three years (2024/25, 2025/26 and 2026/27(. MOPAC Funding £25,000 for National Hate Crime Awareness Week 2024 was spent as follows; £2,500 (10%) covered some of our core costs, £1,573 (6%) was spent on the London launch event, and £22,696 (91%) was spent on resource and distribution. In total we spent £26,768 (107%), the additional £1,768 (7%) spent on resources and distribution helped reduced last year’s underspend from £2,424 to £655. In liaison with MOPAC this will need to be spent on resources for London in 2025/26. |
