Pride Outside CICAnnual Report from December 2022 - Nov 2023Overview This year was the first full 12 months of trading for Pride Outside CIC as there were only 6 months trading in the previous accounting period. We have had a successful year with our income growing by 292% from £31,754 to £92,978. In terms of social impact, we reached 549 with our paid for learning programmes and 1003 LGBTQ+ people with our free LGBTQ+ wellbeing programmes. To amplify our impact, we prioritised LGBTQ+ run businesses in our supplier chain with 86% of our budget being spent with 20 LGBTQ+ businesses, often sole traders and small businesses.Wellbeing Programmes In our LGBTQ+ Wellbeing programme, we delivered 34 wellbeing events reaching over 1003 people in Scotland, with 98% of participants reporting an improvement in their wellbeing. Our events are mainly outdoors in nature including our LGBTQ+ Wellbeing Woodlands Festival which reaches 500 people and includes a programme for 40 LGBTQ+ volunteers. Our work reached particularly marginalised parts of the LGBTQ+ community, with 42% of our participants identifying as having a disability, 33% as neurodivergent, 31% as trans or non binary and 30% as a person of colour. Learning ProgrammesIn our LGBTQ+ Training programme, we reached 81 organisations and 549 individuals with our training programmes to improve inclusion and diversity in workplaces and communities. This included in person and online workshops as well as longer term consultancy projects. We worked predominantly in Scotland, but also across 6 different countries with LGBTQ+ organisations on risk assessments and wellbeing. We also delivered LGBTQ+ wellbeing days for LGBTQ+ groups within organisations.Finance and GovernanceIn the last 12 months, we brought in a total of £92,978.This was a 292% increase on the previous year’s income and we are also proud that our first full year of income was 51% trading income and 49% grant income. We’d also like to thank our grant funders from last year who were Firstport, Glasgow Wellbeing Fund, School of Social Entrepreneurs and Social Investment Scotland. Income TypeIncome Amount (£)Trading Income47,876 (51%)Grant Income45,102 (49%)Total Income£92,978In terms of expenditure, the majority of our expenditure was on salary costs. This is part of our business model so we anticipate that this will continue in future years. We made a small loss this year, which will be covered by income already booked for the next financial year. Looking forward, we’ve been successful in achieving grant income for the next financial year, most significantly £10,000 from the People's Postcode Trust. Next year, we also have a strategic plan to grow our trading income, with an aspiration of it growing to be 60% of our total income. Over the last 12 months, we’ve strengthened our governance through appointment of a new board member with the skills and capacity our organisation required, they have knowledge and expertise of e-learning and digital marketing to support the development of our training programmes. Future PlansWe have put together an ambitious but realistic business plan for the next year, based on our previous figures and work already secured. We also have a detailed cash flow which was part of our application for Firstport funding. For the next year we are going to continue with the wellbeing work at a similar level to this year and in the next year we’re really going to focus on growing our income from diversity training through both online and live learning. We’re also going expand to develop work on LGBTQ+ Leadership as our community are asking for it.
We regularly consult with our stakeholders. We get evaluations for all of our wellbeing events and below is a summary. We have taken on board feedback in making sure we’ve run trans specific events and also events for the refugee and asylum seeking population. We’ve also had feedback from participants that they’d like us to do more on LGBTQ+ leadership which will be doing in future years. Reflections on facilitation The facilitators at pride outside events are consistently welcoming, inclusive, warm and thorough in their approach. The effort that goes into planning the events is clear, and is a joy to be a part of.I really enjoyed the facilitation style - it lent it'self to making the group feel comfortable doing things outside of comfort zones. Not easy to create that sort of trusting space as a facilitator.I wasn't really sure what to expect. It was quite structured, which is great for me, and the facilitation was really good. The ice-breaker and plenary were super cute, I love that we all wrote something for another person in the group at the end.It was a very friendly and welcoming session and I think it was very well facilitated.
The directors received £65,810 in remuneration for work carried out during the year.
