    PRIDE IN LONDON CAB ANNUAL REPORT 2017 PRIDE IN LONDON INDEPENDENT COMMUNITY ADVISORY BOARD ANNUAL REPORT 2017 1. 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
