In this period we ran approximately 50 hikes for the LGBTQ+ community in and around Bristol, with a wide range of distances, difficulties and accessibility. We also ran 5 weekend residentials with the community to further our aims of encouraging more LGBTQ+ people into hiking, being a safe space, allowing greater access and bringing people together to tackle social isolation and promote physical and mental wellbeing in the LGBTQ+ community. In addition, our volunteer leaders all became First Aid trained, increasing member safety at events. We also recruited 10 additional leaders which has allowed us to run more walks with a greater variety so we can run wheelchair friendly events, for example. Our social media followings have all increased dramatically suggesting we are reaching wider in the community. We ran 10 collaborative events, furthering access to the group and widening our offering. We were also successful in 2 grant funding bids, allowing us to cover leader travel expenses for the next 2 years as well as some training and other activity to strengthen our volunteer offering.
Our stakeholders are the LGBTQ+ community in and around Bristol who are 18+ and have an interest in walking and the outdoors. We consult regularly with them through social media and Whatsapp polls, to find out where and what they might want the group to do. We have a feedback form which allows members to feedback on walks, and we send a feedback form to all participants of our weekend residentials. We also asked our volunteers to feedback on their experiences so we could provide more structure to this. Our directors and all our volunteer leaders are all also part of the community, and are regularly consulted with to shape event ideas and activity via Whatsapp groups and in person meetings. The feedback and input from our members have helped us to implement better safety measures, for example ensuring we have 2 leaders on each walk and making sure they’re all First Aid trained. It has helped guide what is needed in the community, for example more public transport friendly walks and the creation of a rideshare Whatsapp group. For weekend residentials it’s been vital to keep these running smoothly and consider the needs of the group – for example, having ‘icebreakers’ and more structured socialising for those who are new or joining on their own. The booking process has also been refined to help make sure there’s a fair way to get a place (we now have a lottery booking process, rather than ‘first come, first served’).
The aggregate amount of emoluments paid to or receivable by directors in respect of qualifying services was £3,625. There were no other transactions or arrangements in connection with the remuneration of directors, or compensation for director’s loss of office, which require to be disclosed.
