## Objectives 

To create and host Scarborough Pride, uniting the community in a day of fully inclusive celebration. 

## Activities 

A range of consultations with varying age groups to determine what the community wanted out of a pride. Community engagement activities with partner organisations such as an Art Exhibition with the Old parcels Office and Mini Pride with The Stephen Joseph Theatre (SJT) 

## Achievements 

All work accumulated into a parade, which ran smoothly through the town with an array of organisations, businesses and members of the public contributing. This lead down to Scarborough Spa, where a fantastic event with over 50 stall holders, 18 hours worth of programmed entertainment and over 100 performers. The event attracted over 3000 attendees 

## Performance 

## Before the event: 

There were a number of departing and new committee members in 2025. This created a skill gap which the trustees addressed throughout the year. The trustees are still seeking volunteer expertise in both fundraising and marketing, as they believe the event would benefit from this and reach more of the local community that the charity supports 

## Financial Review 

The finances of the charity are in good order with an outstanding balance left from 2024.

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

The Trustees feel that the overall structure of the committee works well, however, there are a few roles that need re-defining slightly to give them more purpose and the trustees will be discussing this with the committee chair for 2025 to ensure changes are put in place. 

The Trustees will remain the final sign-off point for all expenditure over 1,000GBP, anything below 500 GDP and laid out in the departmental budgets can be spent under the discretion of the departmental lead, anything 501 – 999GDP will need to be discussed and signed off by the committee at the next committee meeting. 

Trustees do not need to be present at committee meetings, however minutes from all meetings must be shared with all committee members and trustees after all meetings. 



Committee members do not need to be present at Trustee meetings, however the committee Chair, or in their absence, the Deputy Chair will be asked to attend to minute the meeting and to answer or deal with any general operational questions/concerns the trustees may have. 

## **Reference and administrative details** 

Whilst the charity is without both a Treasurer and Secretary, a member of the board of trustees will continue to act as treasurer until a candidate can be found. The Charity will continue to operate without a Secretary and the Chair of the committee will share general administrative duties and committee meeting minute writing between members of the committee. 

## **Priorities for 2025** 

The strategic priorities for 2025 are as follows: 

- To produce a third event and parade to the same calibre, or higher, than the 2024 Pride event 

- The beat the footfall number set in 2024 (3,000) 

- Once again hit an income of 38,000+ GDP 

- To carry through and continue to build the relationship that has been built with key stakeholders and continue to highlight new ways of working or revenue streams, as well as ways we can support our key stakeholders further. 

- Continue to engage local suppliers where possible and looking for alternative local, Yorkshire-based suppliers where possible. 

- To cut down the charities carbon footprint where possible, this involves, replacing one-use items where possible (coffee cups for mugs, printed paper for digital copies, walking rather than driving to meetings and AGMs) 

- To attempt more outreach and regular community activities to further engage the LGBTQ+ community year-round. This will be largely dependant on attracting more experienced volunteers to support this.
