LGBT Excellence Centre Newsletter: The Trans issue
Celebrating our 5th birthday!
Welcome to our Spring Newsletter The LGBTEC has dedicated the first issue of our revamped newsletter to gender identity matters and to the celebration of gender diversity in all its forms. Our newsletter is packed with information about the work that we have been developing to support lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people with our member organisations, partners, volunteers, and supporters. We always aim to progress our partnership working in order to reach out to as many people as possible and support both individuals and organisations around sexual orientation and gender identity matters. So if you think we can help or would like to work with us, get in touch!
