Initially, the project had a focus on the inclusion of older lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people, but as the project grows the focus will transfer to inclusion for all. Thankfully, the project has already begun to make its desired impact, with support of its pioneers so far, something we are proud to be.
Our commitments to inclusion
- Our Community Hub will continue to be an inclusive environment for our team and service users alike.
- We support our staff and volunteers so they are confident to have open and safe conversations.
- We have adopted a learning approach that promotes confidence in providing support and our services to marginalised groups.
- Our Community Hub is an inclusive and neutral venue to host workshops and events.
