Vital support for LGBTQIA+ communities in Leeds
Podcast Description
Following on from Pride Month, in this episode we’ll be looking at the landscape in Leeds for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex and asexual (LGBTQIA+) people and will discuss the important work delivered by Community Organisations in supporting these communities across Leeds.
In a recent report by the Leeds LGBT+ Mapping Project, which captures the landscape of the LGBTQIA+ Community within Leeds, 82% of respondents said Leeds was an LGBTQIA+ friendly city.
The work that goes on within Leeds for their community also allows people to feel part of something larger with a diverse range of activities, support and platforms to raise their voice available, with there being a wide range of steering groups, sports groups, support and social groups also available across the city.
We're joined by Cllr Hannah Bithell (@hanbithell on Twitter), Leeds City Council’s LGBT+ Champion, Maggie Dawkins from Leeds LGBT+ Forum and Susan Phillips from Leeds LGBT+ Consortium two Community Organisations we’ve had the privilege of supporting.
As part of our ongoing work to support LGBTQIA+ communities, we recently launched the Connecting Older LGBT+ People - Micro Fund, in partnership with Leeds Older Peoples Forum, to support older LGBT+ people in Leeds and confront loneliness and social isolation.
