Originally approaching Key Fund to bridge a critical funding gap, Chester Pride has gone on to grow its LGBTQ+ helpline to 7,000 contacts a year, while its Rainbow Tea Rooms café is on track to turnover £200k – helping secure the charity's future. 🌈
The organisation runs Chester Pride – now the city's biggest non-racecourse event with 21,000 attendees – alongside a helpline supporting people through coming out, gender transitioning, abuse situations and mental health challenges.
Head of Charity Richard Euston said: "Key Fund completely understand how we operate. They know the difference you make, and want you to continue to make it. That understanding is phenomenal.💬

Social investment is often surrounded by myths.
"It's only for large organisations."
"It's just another loan."
"We're not ready for investment."
The reality is often very different.
On Wednesday 17 June, we're delighted to welcome Naomi Sampson, Investment Manager at Key Fund, to Rise @ 58i for an informal and practical conversation about social investment and what it could mean for charities, social enterprises and purpose-led organisations.
We'll explore:
• What social investment actually is
• Whether your organisation might be investment ready
• Different types of finance available
• When investment is the right tool – and when it isn't
• Real examples of organisations that have used investment to grow their impact
Key Fund has invested millions of pounds into organisations across the UK, helping them strengthen communities, create jobs and build more sustainable futures.
