Company activities and impact

Taunton Pride CIC ran its third community festival during the accounting period, in line with its purpose to provide benefit to the LGBTQ+ community in Taunton and the surrounding area through education and celebration. The income and expenditure relates to the festival, which took place on the 16th of September 2023 in Taunton’s Vivary Park (postponed from July due to weather). This was a ticketed event which was attended by over 2000 people from all backgrounds and featured a variety of LGBTQ+ themed performances and stalls from local business, non-profits and campaign groups. This benefitted the town by increasing footfall and driving economic activity, and the LGBTQ+ and wider community by creating a safe, welcoming, celebratory space.

Consultation with stakeholders

The companies’ stakeholders are members of the LGBTQ+ community and anyone from wider society focused on promoting awareness and equity for such people, in Taunton and the surrounding area. As part of planning for the event, we held regular community steering group meetings where representatives from/on behalf of LGBTQ+ social groups, charities, residents and local businesses met to discuss the activities to take place at the event, as well as operational plans, safety and suitable messaging and representation of the issues LGBTQ+ people face. In doing this, we ensured buy-in from the community, and gathered feedback after the event, on how it could be improved for next year.
