INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Independent Community Advisory Board (CAB) submits its annual report reviewing the 2017 Pride in London (Pride) events. This report reflects issues raised at the CAB private review meeting held on 20 July 2017, which were based on community feedback and matters identified from CAB members’ own experiences. This year, for the first time, the CAB has also sought feedback from a range of major stakeholder organisations within the LGBT+ community. Their comments have been included, but anonymised. 1.2 The CAB is independent from the organisation of Pride. It advises the London LGBT+ Community Pride CIC (LLCP) Board and scrutinises their decisions. It provides guidance on inclusion, governance and other operational issues. Its membership is drawn from different strands of London’s LGBT+ communities with the hope of being broadly representative. The membership of the CAB at the date of this report is: • Chair: Adrian Hyyrylainen-Trett • Arts and Literature: Simon Tarrant (Winter Pride) • Bisexual People's Rep: Edward Lord OBE JP (BiUK) (Deputy Chair) • Black, Asian & Minority Ethnic People's Rep: Ozzy Amir (QMSU) • Campaigning and Political Groups: Tom Wilson (LGBT Labour) • Disabled People's Rep: Vacant • Faith and Belief Groups: Vacant • Health Rep: Eleanor Barnwell (Kings College NHS Foundation Trust) • Local Groups Rep: David Robson (Wandsworth LGBT Forum) • Older People's Rep: Peter Scott-Presland (Opening

  • Transgender Policy Launch
    NEWSLETTER 3 - August 2017 TRANS GENDER EDITION TRANSGENDER POLICY LAUNCH We continuously strive to promote and embed equality and diversity across the Service and the communities we serve. Senior Management Team approved a new Service Policy on Transgender equality which will now be adopted Service- wide. To celebrate and acknowledge this, on Thursday 22 June, we officially launched the Transgender Policy. This policy ensures the Service has guidelines in place, providing transgender equality for all employees and is another step towards making our Service a fully inclusive workplace that treats all individuals equally, with respect. The policy will be used in conjunction with the recently launched collaborative document “Trans Equality In The Workplace”, which is a guide for managers (continued page 2) 1 (from page 1 ) and staff of public sector organisations in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. The event was well attended with representatives from operational and support staff, as well as other partner organisations from across the region. In addition to giving presentations to Middle Managers and Supervisory Managers on the day, we were delighted that Transgender advocate and Welcome to this latest issue of campaigner, Charlie Craggs, also came to support our launch. Charlie and her the shOUT!

  • BP Annual Review 2018 V1.Indd
    “Historic, inspired and unparalleled. Brighton Pride is one of the best international pride festivals, we love it” Attitude Magazine THE UK’S BIGGEST PRIDE FESTIVAL Brighton &ANNUAL Hove REVIEW Pride OF 2018 Welcome Firmly established as the UK’s biggest Pride Festival, Brighton Pride attracts a diverse demographic audience from across the UK, Europe and the World. 2018 continued to see Brighton Pride’s reputation as one of the UK’s leading campaigning and community fundraising Prides grow. Supporting our local charities and good causes is the cornerstone of our Pride – a ‘Pride with Purpose’ – and in 2018 our fundraising of £250,000 means over £705,000 has been raised over the last six years. Pride is singularly the most popular visitor attraction in the City’s event calendar, with benefits not only for community groups and charities but also the wider city services, tourism and commercial venues’ profits. An estimated £20.5million is spent in Brighton & Hove businesses over the Pride weekend. Pride is not just a weekend of parades and parties for the City, but also a time when family, friends, neighbours and the city itself, recognises, celebrates and promotes tolerance and diversity within all our communities. We must thank our statutory partners Brighton & Hove City council, Sussex Police, Fire & rescue, the NHS, our commercial supporters and all the volunteers who help make Pride happen. Brighton-Pride.org –2– Brighton-Pride.org –3– Why Does Pride Matter? Probably the most frequently asked question when it comes to Pride must be “Why do we need a Pride?” Given the huge improvement in equalities over the last decade with protections written in to law and a legal recognition of our relationships, then it is understandable that some people, including those within the LGBT community, might think that we’ve won the fight for freedom.
