  • Annual Report Year Ending 31St October 2018
    ANNUAL REPORT YEAR ENDING 31ST OCTOBER 2018 Introduction The PRIDE in Gloucestershire committee are pleased to deliver the Annual report to you, the members and community. This report outlines the work the organisation has carried out this year and also includes the accounts for the financial year to 31st October 2018. The Annual Report is presented in compliance with section 5.2 of the constitution adopted by PRIDE in Gloucestershire on 21st January 2018. Chair’s Welcome This past year for Pride in the county has been one of both change and of refocusing the pride movement on the community and promoting further transparency and accountability. I have been honoured to have been able to lead the team behind these changes and it has given me so much pleasure in the knowledge that we have got the pride movement back on track in the county. I am also overjoyed that we have managed to provide a Pride that has managed to become financially secure. With the difficult beginning for the community at the beginning of the year having found out that the previous charity running the pride event was not going to pursue the event due to spiralling costs, it has been amazing to see the community rallying round the newly formed organisation and committee. Donations and support coming to us from the community has been amazing and from myself I would like to say a huge massive thank you to you all. I would like to extend a particular thanks to all of our members, having this year become a member lead organisation.
