READING PRIDE

To promote equality and diversity, advance education and eliminate particularly in relation to the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and associated communities [LGBT Plus], in particular but not exclusively within Reading and The Thames Valley. In particularly by promoting and staging an annual festival and making grants and/or donations to other charitable and voluntary organisations.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
