The Lesbian & Gay Foundation, Princess Street, Manchester

The Lesbian & Gay Foundation is hosting a meeting at its offices aimed at bringing together lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGB&T) voluntary and community groups, members of LGB&T networks, LGB&T community activists, members of LGB&T staff networks and individuals who act on behalf of LGB&T people from across the North West.

The focus of the day is to look at and discuss the current and emerging issues affecting the LGB&T community, to review and encourage individuals to use the research published by the North West Development Agency around ‘Improving the knowledge base on the LGB&T community in the region’, to look at key funding opportunities for groups, to provide information on current projects and initiatives that you can get involved in, as well as providing an opportunity to meet other people who are working to embed equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans individuals across the region and beyond and to challenge and eliminate homophobia, biphobia and transphobia.

The day will be followed by an opportunity to network informally. Refreshments will be available from 10am and lunch will be provided.

The meeting will include presentations from Evelyn Asante-Mensah – Head of Equality and Diversity at the North West Development Agency, Paul Martin – Chief Executive at the Lesbian & Gay Foundation, Sharon Jones – Policy and Partnerships Officer at the Big Lottery and representatives from groups and organisations; showcasing some of the fantastic work happening across the region.

Travel bursaries are available to individuals from voluntary and community organisations.

For further information, please contact Darren Knight, Development Manager at The Lesbian & Gay Foundation on 0161 235 8035 or email darren.knight@lgf.org.uk.
