Dear Lexi,

Thank you for your email.

The organiser (Pride In Surrey) is responsible for the safeguarding procedures and policies for the event, not Woking Borough Council. Therefore there is no lead officer from Woking Borough Council.

I noticed in the below email the email address doesn't appear to of pulled through, to confirm the contact email address for Pride In Surrey is [email address].
I hope this is helpful.

Kind regards,
Hanna
