In this powerful episode, I sit down with an incredible ally of the LGBTQ+ community whose advocacy, political engagement, and unwavering support have made a real impact. We dive into her journey, her role in shaping inclusive policies, the importance of community, and the inspiring achievements that set her apart. Whether you’re here for politics, pride, or powerful stories, this episode is for you.

We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve received £19,908 in funding from The National Lottery Community Fund to launch our brand-new Health and Wellbeing Groups!

This incredible support will help us create safe, inclusive, and empowering spaces for our community to connect, grow, and thrive. Whether it’s through workshops, peer support, or wellbeing activities, this funding allows us to make a real difference in the lives of LGBT+ individuals across Sunderland.

A huge thank you to National Lottery players—your contributions are helping us build a stronger, healthier, and more connected community.

Stay tuned for updates on our upcoming activities, and follow us on social media to see the impact of this amazing support in action. 🌈💜
