Hertfordshire LGBT*Q Health & Wellbeing C.I.C. formally held the event licence and event insurance for Herts Pride and provided support in kind towards the event and its delivery. Hertfordshire Pride Society remained responsible for all financial aspects of Herts Pride during the year, including contracts, invoicing and sponsorship.

The company worked collaboratively with Hertfordshire Pride Society and other partners in supporting Herts Pride 2025. The event provided an opportunity to bring together LGBT*Q people, families, friends and allies alongside community organisations and other partners in an inclusive community environment.

World AIDS Day During 2025, the company collaborated with Herts Pride, Proud Watford and Proud Hornets to deliver a World AIDS Day event. The event supported the company’s health and wellbeing objectives by raising awareness of HIV, encouraging informed discussion, challenging HIV-related stigma and providing an opportunity for community engagement. The collaboration also raised funds for the National AIDS Trust, providing a direct charitable benefit alongside the event’s awareness-raising and community objectives. The activity demonstrated the value of partnership working in bringing organisations and communities together around an important public health issue and reinforced the company’s commitment to HIV awareness and the health and wellbeing of LGBT*Q communities. Health, Wellbeing and Inclusion Health and wellbeing remained central to the company’s community purpose throughout the year. Through its community engagement and partnership working, the company continued to promote awareness of issues affecting LGBT*Q people and to encourage inclusive approaches to health, wellbeing and community participation. The company’s activities recognised the importance of addressing stigma, discrimination, social isolation and barriers to inclusion, while creating opportunities for LGBT*Q people to connect with others and participate positively in community life. The company continued to strengthen relationships with organisations and stakeholders with shared interests in equality, health, wellbeing and community inclusion, enabling its community purpose to be advanced through collaborative activity despite the company having no income of its own during the year.
