**Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document**
- a) organising and promoting events and activities throughout the year, including but not limited to an annual festival celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community and regular social events for the LGBTQIA+ community in a safe environment, designed to raise awareness of and address discrimination and other issues affecting the LGBTQIA+ community in the area of benefit and nationally, advance LGBTQIA+ rights and foster understanding between people from diverse backgrounds;

## **Public Benefit**
The Trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission’s public benefit guidance throughout the reporting period.
East Coast Pride exists to promote equality and diversity for the public benefit across Lincolnshire and surrounding areas, with a particular focus on eliminating discrimination connected to sexual orientation and gender identity.
**Public benefit during the year was delivered through four interrelated outcomes:** safety and wellbeing, community cohesion, evidence-led equality work, and civic and economic contribution.
## **Safety, visibility and wellbeing**
The ability to participate safely in public life is fundamental to equality. For LGBTQIA+ communities, historic marginalisation and experiences of hostility mean that visible, welcoming civic spaces are not only symbolic but materially protective of wellbeing.
Post-event evidence from East Coast Pride 2025 demonstrates exceptionally strong perceived safety, with more than 98% of surveyed attendees reporting that they felt safe at the event.
**Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)**
Qualitative feedback reinforced this finding, with respondents repeatedly describing the atmosphere as inclusive, welcoming and uplifting, and highlighting the visible safeguarding presence as reassuring for families and vulnerable attendees.
This sustained perception of safety, consistent with findings from 2024, represents a significant equality outcome in a coastal community where LGBTQIA+ visibility has historically been limited.
To deepen understanding of safety beyond the event environment, the charity developed the LGBTQIA+ and Allies Survey during the reporting period, launched in 2026. This research programme explores lived experience of safety, belonging and inclusion across the local area, extending public benefit from a single civic event into year-round community insight.
## **Community cohesion and shared understanding**
East Coast Pride creates a shared civic environment that brings together LGBTQIA+ people, allies, families, residents, visitors, businesses and voluntary organisations. Attendance patterns demonstrate deliberate inclusivity, with individuals attending as families, couples, friendship groups and solo participants, confirming that the event is accessible across generations and social groups.
The breadth of postcode data further evidences cohesion. Nearly half of visitors travelled from Skegness itself, with additional attendance from across the Lincolnshire coast and neighbouring counties, and some travelling significant distances to participate.
This geographic spread shows Pride functioning simultaneously as a local community celebration, a regional cultural event, and a destination gathering that connects diverse communities.
Survey findings also indicate strong repeat attendance, with a marked reduction in first-time visitors compared with 2024 and growth in returning

participants.
This pattern reflects sustained trust, strengthening social bonds and reinforcing Pride’s role as an established part of the area’s civic life.
Media coverage during the year further amplified this cohesion narrative, with regional and national outlets highlighting the scale, inclusivity and family-friendly nature of the Skegness celebration, reinforcing positive visibility for LGBTQIA+ communities within public discourse.
## **Evidence and insight to strengthen equality work**
A defining feature of East Coast Pride’s charitable delivery is its commitment to structured evidence gathering.
The 2025 attendee survey, completed by 189 respondents following an event welcoming approximately 7,000 visitors, provides a robust mixedmethods evidence base spanning demographics, wellbeing, participation, and economic impact.
## **Findings show:**
- Strong overall satisfaction, with 84% rating the event above eight out of ten and 61.9% awarding a perfect score.
- High levels of sustained engagement, with most attendees remaining for several hours or the full day.
- Broad representation across LGBTQIA+ attendees and allies, demonstrating inclusive reach.
This locally grounded dataset strengthens advocacy, informs safeguarding and delivery planning, and provides credible evidence for funders, statutory partners and policymakers.
During the reporting period, this evidence infrastructure was further strengthened through partnership support linked to the Skegness Neighbourhood Plan, enabling expanded research activity from 2026 onward.
This will allow the charity not only to improve its own services but also to provide insight to local authorities, the NHS, policing partners, community organisations and businesses, thereby extending public benefit across the wider system of place-based wellbeing.
## **Civic and economic contribution**
Alongside its equality and wellbeing outcomes, East Coast Pride delivers measurable civic and economic value to the local area.
Survey data indicates average visitor spend of approximately £95 (median £50), equating to an estimated £350,000 to £665,000 injected into the Skegness economy during the event period.
This supports local hospitality, retail and accommodation sectors during the late-season coastal economy, demonstrating Pride’s role as both a cultural inclusion programme and a driver of place-based economic resilience.
Wider qualitative feedback confirms overnight stays, group spending and extended dwell time within the town, reinforcing the event’s multiplier effect for local businesses.

Media reporting across regional and national outlets further recognised the scale, visibility and positive community atmosphere of the event, strengthening Skegness’s reputation as an inclusive destination and amplifying the charity’s public-benefit impact beyond the immediate locality.
All activities were open to the public and delivered without undue private benefit, ensuring alignment with charitable purpose.

## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)**
East Coast Pride is powered entirely by volunteers.
From its earliest days as a grassroots movement in late 2023, the organisation has grown not through paid infrastructure, but through the time, energy, and commitment of local people who believe that everyone along the Lincolnshire coast deserves to feel seen, safe, and supported.
Our volunteers are the engine behind everything we do. They plan events, support safeguarding, manage logistics, engage partners, build community links, and create the welcoming environments that define East Coast Pride. Their contributions are not limited to the visible moments of celebration each September. They work year-round to strengthen inclusion, challenge isolation, and help ensure that LGBTQIA+ people and their allies feel connected to their communities.
You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about:
- policy on grantmaking;
- policy programme related investment;
- contribution made by volunteers.
Over the past year, volunteers have contributed hundreds of hours to East Coast Pride’s work across outreach, planning, delivery, and governance. Activity peaks around key milestones, particularly in the lead-up to Pride season, but sustained effort continues throughout the year to support partnerships, wellbeing initiatives, and community engagement.
At the heart of this volunteer structure sits the Pride Committee.
The Pride Committee provides leadership, coordination, and direction for the charity’s work. As a working committee, its members are not only decision-makers but active contributors, giving their time to both strategic planning and operational delivery.
## **We would like to recognise the commitment of our current Pride Committee members:**
- Nick Walton
- Nicola Mitchell
- Cameron Hankinson
- Adam Hind
Each brings local insight, lived experience, and professional skills that strengthen East Coast Pride’s ability to deliver meaningful impact across Boston, Skegness, Mablethorpe, Louth, Horncastle, and surrounding communities.
Their work, alongside the wider volunteer network, ensures that East Coast Pride remains rooted in the community it serves. This model of volunteer-led leadership allows the organisation to remain accessible, responsive, and genuinely representative of local voices.
East Coast Pride does not exist because of funding alone. It exists because individuals choose to give their time, stand alongside their neighbours, and help build a more inclusive East Coast for everyone.

Section D Achievements and performance
**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
**Programme Delivery & Activities East Coast Pride 2025: the flagship Pride event** East Coast Pride 2025 returned to Skegness as a free, family-friendly celebration delivered across key public spaces, including Tower Gardens, Compass Gardens, and the Hildreds Centre. Designed as a full-day programme, the event created multiple accessible environments for different audiences, including a main performance stage, a dedicated family-friendly area, and a marketplace hosting traders, community organisations, and charities. This structure ensured sustained engagement throughout the day while maintaining visibility across the town centre.
An estimated 7,000 people attended, with controlled entry and monitoring confirming attendance across the full operating period. Independent visitor feedback demonstrates exceptionally strong outcomes: 84% of respondents rated the event 8/10 or higher, with 61.9% awarding a perfect 10/10 experience score. More than 98% of attendees reported feeling safe, affirming the effectiveness of safeguarding, stewarding, and event management arrangements. Visitors stayed for extended periods, with roughly one-third remaining all day, one-third most of the day, and one-third several hours, confirming Pride as a destination event rather than a short-stay activity.
Economic analysis further demonstrates the event’s wider public benefit. Visitor spending averaged approximately £95 per person (median £50), equating to an estimated £350,000 to £665,000 injected into the Skegness economy during the late-season period. This evidences Pride’s dual role as both a cultural inclusion initiative and a driver of local economic activity supporting hospitality, retail, and accommodation sectors.
Geographic data shows Pride’s reach extending beyond Skegness, attracting visitors from across the Lincolnshire coast, regional cities, neighbouring counties, and further afield. This demonstrates growing destination appeal alongside strong local loyalty, reinforcing Pride’s importance to community identity while positioning it as a regional cultural event with future growth potential.
Qualitative feedback highlights three consistent strengths:
- A highly inclusive, welcoming and uplifting atmosphere repeatedly praised by attendees.
- High-quality entertainment and programming delivered within a professional main-stage environment.
- A genuinely family-friendly and safe environment, valued by parents, allies, and LGBTQIA+ attendees alike.
Collectively, this evidence confirms that East Coast Pride 2025 directly advanced the charity’s objects by increasing LGBTQIA+ visibility, strengthening community cohesion, and providing safe celebration in a coastal context where inclusive cultural opportunities have historically been limited.

Section D Achievements and performance
**East Coast Pride’s Got Talent: expanding culture, confidence and inclusion** During 2025, the charity expanded its cultural programme through the launch of East Coast Pride’s Got Talent, a free community showcase designed to celebrate creativity, confidence, and local identity. Delivered at The Suncastle in Skegness ahead of the main Pride event, the initiative provided an accessible platform for performers to develop skills, gain visibility, and connect with supportive audiences. This programme strengthened inclusion through participation rather than attendance alone, enabling local performers to progress into Pride’s main-stage programming and ensuring the flagship event reflected local voices as well as visiting acts. In doing so, the initiative deepened community ownership of Pride while using arts and culture as practical tools for empowerment, confidence-building, and social connection. The introduction of this showcase represents an important step in East Coast Pride’s evolution from a single annual event toward a year-round cultural and community presence, aligning strongly with the charity’s mission to promote equality, reduce isolation, and foster pride in identity across Lincolnshire. **Support directory and year-round signposting** During 2025, East Coast Pride strengthened its commitment to yearround community wellbeing through the development of an online Support Directory, ensuring that the charity’s impact extended beyond the annual event itself. This resource was designed to provide clear, accessible signposting to mental health services, practical advice, and trusted local and national LGBTQIA+ support organisations, recognising that visibility and celebration must be accompanied by ongoing care and connection. The directory reflects the charity’s core values of advocacy, inclusion, and community empowerment. By bringing together essential support information in a single, publicly accessible space, East Coast Pride helps individuals, families, and allies navigate services more confidently and reduces barriers to seeking help, particularly in coastal and rural communities where provision can be fragmented or difficult to access. Importantly, this initiative marks a strategic shift from a single-day cultural event toward a continuous community presence, embedding Pride within everyday support networks across Lincolnshire. In doing so, East Coast Pride advances its charitable objects not only through celebration and visibility, but also through sustained wellbeing, resilience, and social connection throughout the year. **Fundraising and community-led income generation** Alongside sponsorship and grants, the charity delivered and supported multiple community-facing fundraising routes, including smaller events, donation mechanisms and venue-based collections. These included collection tubs in local venues, event-linked fundraising activity, and additional celebration events designed to keep engagement alive beyond the main festival period. This diversified approach supports resilience and aligns with good charity

practice by avoiding over-dependence on any single source of income.
## **The Official After Party and extended Pride activity**
In addition to daytime programming, East Coast Pride supported a programme of extended activity across the full weekend, ensuring that the celebration continued in safe, inclusive, and well-managed community spaces. This included the official Pride After Party at Three Monkeys, alongside wider Pride-themed activity delivered in partnership with local venues and community stakeholders.
Further weekend engagement included activity on Skegness Pier on the Sunday, supported by the Pier team, as well as independently organised Pride-aligned events hosted by venues such as The Ship and The Lumley.

**Section E Financial review**
|**Brief statement of the**
**charity’s policy on reserves**|**Financial Governance, Transparency and Control**
Trustees operate robust financial governance arrangements designed to
ensure transparency, accountability, and protection of charitable assets.
Formal accounting policies and procedures are in place to ensure
financial statements follow generally accepted accounting principles,
safeguard assets, comply with funder requirements, and maintain
accurate and transparent financial management.
Strong internal financial controls are embedded across operations. Three
trustees act as authorised bank signatories, and higher value payments
require dual or board level approval. Monthly bank reconciliations, trustee
scrutiny of financial reports, documented approval processes, and secure
record keeping provide clear assurance that charitable funds are properly
governed and independently overseen.
Financial reporting is prepared in line with the Charities Statement of
Recommended Practice and is subject to independent examination at
year end, providing external assurance over the accuracy and integrity of
the charity’s accounts. Trustees consider this combination of transparent
accounting systems, multi approver banking controls, and independent
scrutiny to be central to maintaining public trust and regulatory
compliance.
**Reserves Policy**
Reserves are that part of a charity’s unrestricted funds that is freely
available to spend on any of the charity’s purposes. Trustees recognise
that maintaining an appropriate reserves policy is essential regardless of
the size or stage of development of the organisation. East Coast Pride’s
approach to reserves is informed by Charity Commission guidance,
including CC19, and is designed to support stability, resilience, and the
continued delivery of public benefit.
Trustees ensure that the reserves policy remains appropriate to the
charity’s aims, operational needs, objectives, and risk profile, particularly
in light of the financial and safety requirements associated with delivering
large public events. The principles underpinning the policy are formally
agreed by Trustees, with reserve levels determined through assessment
of relevant operational and financial risks rather than through arbitrary
targets. The policy is reviewed periodically to reflect changes in the
charity’s operating environment, with clear planning in place to maintain
reserves within the desired range and to respond appropriately should
reserves fall below levels required for effective operation.
Trustees do not use restricted funds to create general reserves, do not
seek to obscure the level of reserves within the accounts, and ensure
that accounting and reporting requirements under the Charities
Statement of Recommended Practice are applied consistently.
Fundraising communications remain transparent regarding the intended
use of resources, including circumstances where funds contribute to
organisational resilience and the sustainability of future charitable
delivery.
The Trustees have established a long-term intention to build unrestricted
reserves equivalent to approximately twelve months of operating costs
once sufficient operational history allows reliable forecasting. This
reserve level is intended to provide contingency against sudden|

- investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted.
East Coast Pride 2025 was delivered through substantial partnership support from sponsors, grant funders, and practical contributors drawn from Skegness, the wider Lincolnshire coast, and the regional business community. Trustees recognise this collective backing as a direct enabler of public benefit, ensuring the event could remain free to attend, safe, professionally delivered, and family-friendly, with the infrastructure necessary to protect participants, volunteers, and the wider public. Headline partnership support included Coastal Caravan Breaks as Main Stage Sponsor, Butlin’s as Family Zone Sponsor, and Plan for Neighbourhoods as Research Partner. Public-sector investment was also secured through a significant grant from the East Lindsey Investment Fund (ELIF) administered by Lincolnshire Community Foundation, alongside further local civic support. These contributions formed the financial and strategic foundation that enabled delivery at scale. In addition, East Coast Pride benefited from the valued partnership of the Hildreds Centre as a Pride Partner, alongside a broader network of community-minded organisations and businesses that contributed resources, services, infrastructure, and promotional support across the event environment. Sponsors directly enabled visible elements of the Pride experience, including the Pride Park Main Stage and the Family Zone, ensuring highquality programming, inclusive activities, and safe family engagement throughout the day. Trustees particularly note the strength of local and returning sponsorship, demonstrating growing civic confidence in East Coast Pride’s governance, impact, and long-term role within the community. At a time when many Pride events nationally are experiencing reduced corporate sponsorship and increasing financial pressure, the continued commitment of local businesses, regional partners, and public-sector funders in Lincolnshire provides strong evidence of community trust, resilience, and sustainability. **The charity publicly recognised sponsors and grants on its 2025 Sponsors & Grants page, including (among others):** Coastal Caravan Breaks, Butlin’s, East Lindsey Investment Fund via Lincolnshire Community Foundation, Hildreds Centre, Plan for Neighbourhoods, Micronclean, Superior Decking, Cheeky Blinders, South Lincs Security, PPL PRS, Practical Van Hire, Skegness Pier, Blue Anchor Leisure, Hideout Cafe and Bar, The Suncastle Skegness, MKM, Stagecoach, Unity Holidays, Delicious Donuts, J&R Wristbands, Bingo Supermarket, and ASDA. Trustees recognise that many Pride events nationally have faced

increasing funding pressure. Against that backdrop, sustained local support demonstrates strong civic trust and provides the foundation for long-term sustainability.
## **Section F Other optional information**
## **Chair’s Remarks**
Late in 2023, a small group of volunteers along the Lincolnshire coast started asking a simple question.
What would it look like if everyone here felt safe to be themselves?
From those early conversations, East Coast Pride began to take shape. Not as a large organisation, but as a group of passionate local people who believed our communities deserved visibility, support and celebration.
What started as an idea quickly became a grassroots movement. By 2024, that movement had grown into something real, led by the original volunteer committee including Craig Cresswell, Richard Hutchinson and Marti Brown. Alongside them, Matty Dickinson stepped into the role of Pride Producer, helping to shape and deliver what would become a landmark moment for our coastal communities.
Thanks to the dedication of the volunteer committee and wider volunteers in bringing the event together, East Coast Pride 2025 was a huge success. Thousands of people came together in a safe, welcoming and celebratory space that simply had not existed here before. The atmosphere, the visibility, and the sense of belonging created on the day showed just how needed Pride was along the Lincolnshire coast. It was a moment of joy, solidarity and progress that everyone involved remains incredibly proud of.
Following that success, the volunteer committee made the decision to transition East Coast Pride into a registered charity. This allowed a formal Trustee Board and Pride Committee to be established, ensuring the work could continue, grow sustainably, and support the community not just through an annual event, but year-round.
Since then, everything East Coast Pride has achieved has been powered by volunteers and the ongoing dedication of our Pride Committee. From planning safe and inclusive events, to developing outreach work, safeguarding approaches and research that helps us better understand our local LGBTQIA+ community, their work sits at the centre of our mission.
This is not just about one day in September. It is about building belonging across Lincolnshire. It is about creating spaces where people feel seen, supported and valued.
East Coast Pride 2026 will continue that journey. It represents the commitment of local people working together to create lasting change, strengthen community connections and celebrate diversity in a way that reflects who we are as a coastal region.

The Trustees East Coast Pride 78 Winston Drive Skegness Lincolnshire PE25 2RE
## **Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of East Coast Pride**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of East Coast Pride (the Charity) for the year ended 31 December 2025.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity’s trustees of the Charity, 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 the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner’s 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 concerns and have come across no other matter 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.
