Colchester Pride Annual Trustee Report 2024

(December 2023 – November 2024)

Introduction

2024 has been a year of cementing foundations for Colchester Pride. We have continued to develop our organisational voice while embedding clear processes behind both our flagship Pride festival and the ancillary events that run throughout the year.

A particular highlight was being selected in May as one of Mayor Lesley Scott-Boutell’s chosen charities for her mayoral year, a recognition that has helped raise our profile locally and affirmed the value of our work.

At the same time, we have been acutely aware of the rise in anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric, both nationally and within our local area. This has reinforced the importance of our mission: ensuring that Colchester Pride is seen as a safe, affirming, and welcoming space. Throughout the year, we have worked to strengthen our impact locally, positioning our events as vital hubs of community support and visibility.

Our Committee

Our trustee board saw several changes during 2024. We were pleased to welcome three new committee members (JE, PW, and CM), each bringing fresh energy and expertise to the team. Following the main Pride festival, RC stepped down from both the board and committee after valuable contributions.

At present, there are no major skills gaps, but the board continues to operate with limited capacity, meaning that individuals often carry substantial portfolios. Trustees meet on average every four weeks, with meetings increasing in frequency as the Pride festival approaches. This structure ensures that we balance effective governance with the ability to remain responsive to the operational demands of our events.

Our Projects & Events

Pride Festival 2024

Our flagship Pride festival took place on 17 August 2024 at Firstsite, drawing an estimated 2,000 attendees. The event was our most ambitious to date, combining a lively programme of performances with a vibrant march through the town. Post-event survey results reflected overwhelmingly positive feedback, highlighting the sense of welcome and safety the festival provided.

We were especially proud to deliver BSL interpretation for 80% of our main stage content, ensuring that the festival was more accessible and inclusive.

Although we had anticipated the possibility of anti-Pride protestors, these did not materialise. However, the day was not without challenges: a small group of individuals were found outside the venue attempting to scam attendees under the guise of fundraising, and resorted to homophobic and transphobic abuse when challenged. The incident required police attendance, but we are pleased to report that it was handled swiftly and professionally by our volunteers and committee members, ensuring minimal disruption to the event.

Big Camp Cabaret

A week later, Big Camp Cabaret returned to Colchester Arts Centre, once again proving to be a highlight in our annual programme. The event was a sell-out success, platforming local and emerging LGBTQ+ performers while raising vital funds for our 2025 activities. Big Camp has firmly established itself as both a community favourite and a key fundraiser in our calendar.

LGBTQ+ History Month

The theme of History Month 2024, #UnderTheScope, inspired us to create a series of social media posts spotlighting significant LGBTQ+ contributions in healthcare and medicine. Alongside this, we partnered with Colchester Fringe to deliver Disco Fantabulosa, a joint fundraiser that brought together our communities in celebration.

Regular & Ancillary Events

Throughout the year we continued to mark significant LGBTQ+ days of visibility and remembrance on social media, helping to keep our online platforms active and engaged.

In person, we continued our offer with:

Fun and Gaymes Nights at Dice and a Slice, which have become a regular and popular fixture in our calendar.
Two editions of Little Camp Cabaret, providing an accessible stage for newer performers and strengthening community connections.

World AIDS Day 2024

This year’s World AIDS Day was hosted in a new venue, Patch, and was warmly received. Attendees praised the event’s respectful and community-focused atmosphere, which combined remembrance with a sense of solidarity.

Partnerships

Colchester Pride continues to benefit from a strong network of local and regional partners, which has enabled us to deliver an ambitious programme of events throughout 2024 while also strengthening our independence as an organisation.

The OutHouse

Our long-standing partnership with The OutHouse remains central to our work. This year, we collaborated to deliver The Wonderland Ball, a successful community event that combined fundraising with celebration. The OutHouse also provided vital support at our main festival, with team members assisting in the get-in process and contributing to the smooth delivery of the day.

Mercury Theatre

The Mercury Theatre again proved to be a valued ally, with staff volunteering at the Pride festival to support both our main stage and site logistics. Their commitment to fostering inclusive arts and community engagement continues to enhance our events and provide valuable capacity where it is most needed.

New Partnerships

In 2024, our position as one of Mayor Lesley Scott-Boutell’s chosen charities created new opportunities for collaboration and visibility. We were delighted to foster new relationships with organisations including RSPCA Mid and North Essex, Guts UK, Support Our Paras, and RAD, extending our reach into new community networks and demonstrating solidarity across causes.

Growing Independence

While our partnerships remain vital, we have also taken deliberate steps to strengthen our organisational independence, ensuring that Colchester Pride can increasingly stand on its own feet. This balance of collaboration and self-reliance will be key to our sustainability in the years ahead.

Funding & Finance

2024 proved to be a challenging year in terms of funding. We did not secure significant grant income, and sponsorships were noticeably slower than in previous years. We recognise that the ongoing cost-of-living crisis has placed considerable pressure on local businesses and industries, which in turn affects their ability to provide financial support.

Despite these pressures, our ancillary events such as Big Camp Cabaret, Little Camp Cabaret, Disco Fantabulosa, the Wonderland Ball, and Fun and Gaymes Nights all performed steadily. While the majority functioned primarily as community-building activities, they nonetheless covered their costs and contributed modestly to our income stream.

Overall, our financial health is stable, and there are currently no immediate concerns. However, the trustees recognise the need to continue developing a more robust funding strategy to ensure long-term sustainability. Work has already begun to explore new avenues for sponsorship, grant applications, and diversified fundraising in 2025.

Looking Forward (into 2025)

Our priorities for 2025 focus on maintaining the audience growth achieved in 2024 while ensuring that our events remain inclusive, relevant, and impactful. In particular, we are committed to being visible and vocal in our support for the trans+ community, recognising the challenges faced and the importance of Pride as a space of solidarity. We will also be reviewing and developing our year-round programme to offer more consistent opportunities for connection and celebration.

As one of the Mayor’s chosen charities, we look forward to participating in the Mayor’s End of Year Ball in May 2025, which we hope will prove to be a successful fundraiser for all involved.

We remain committed to strengthening our network of partners. Colchester Pride is always open to collaborations that make sense for our community and that are achievable within the capacity of a volunteer-led organisation.

To address the funding challenges of 2024, one trustee will be dedicating their focus in 2025 to funding bids and sponsorship development, ensuring that we build stronger foundations for financial sustainability.

Our vision for the end of 2025 is for Colchester Pride to have delivered another successful flagship festival, consolidating audience numbers at around 2,000 attendees. We aim to continue building our reputation locally and regionally, welcoming new committee members with diverse skillsets and networks, and ensuring that Pride remains a strong, resilient, and trusted presence in Colchester.
