We are thrilled to be hosting and collaborating on a number of events this year to recognise Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans+ History Month.

Our Interim CEO, Andrew Evans, said,

"Each year, LGBT+ History Month provides us with a fantastic opportunity to delve into not only our own story as an organisation, but the rich, diverse history of our community. This month helps to raise awareness, highlight significant landmark moments and individuals, and celebrate the strides forward made by our movement. We are excited for a jam-packed month full of opportunities and resources."
