What our Advocates Say...
When a person can be their true authentic self in everyday life and work, they can be the best version of themselves
What our Advocates Say...
Small steps make a huge difference: speak out, share your story, seek and serve as allies and know that your voice can change the world for the better, even if you think it can’t.
What our Advocates Say...
The key to happiness is in living an authentic life. I didn't want to be trans. No-one chooses to be trans and most people fight against admitting it to themselves.
Our Certificate of Diversity Advocates programme is the LGBTQ+ gold standard of excellence, a guarantee that a person is a proud, engaged and active supporter of the LGBTQ+ community.
