You can easily email your MP through the @BanCTorg website. It takes 2 minutes 🚨banconversiontherapy.com🚨 #BanConversionTherapy

We now stand with Stonewall and other LGBTQ+ organisations in calling for the governments of Wales and Scotland to keep their word and end conversion therapy in their own jurisdictions. LGBTQ+ people in the UK deserve better.

Conversion practices are abuse. They must be banned. In every setting and for everyone subjected to it. We demand a ban which is inclusive of all LGBTQA+ people. Speak up to #BanConversionTherapy, continue emailing your MPs 🚨 banconversiontherapy.com

A welcome statement from The BMA ‘Conversion therapy’ is unethical and damaging, preys on the vulnerable and leads to long lasting harm. This abhorrent practice must be banned for all LGBT+ people. A ban that excludes trans people is not a ban at all #LGBTHealth 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

As the UK LGBT+ umbrella body, we wholeheartedly back @StonewallUK’s decision to withdraw support for the UK Government-led Safe To Be Me conference. Read our statement here: consortium.lgbt/banconversiont… #NotSafeToBeMe #TransRightsAreHumanRights #BanConversionTherapy

We stand with Stonewall and the majority of the LGBTQ+ and HIV sectors and withdraw all of our support from the Safe To Be Me conference.

Incredible ⭐️ 20,000 people have now emailed their MP to #BanConversionTherapy. LGBTQ+ people have nothing to be ashamed of. There is nothing wrong or broken about who we are. 2 mins of your time can make a lifetime of difference to LGBTQ+ people 💌 banconversiontherapy.com

Please sign - if we can get 100,000 signatures we get a debate UK House of Commons ... #nobanwithouttrans #BanConversionTherapy petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6135…

It was incredible to see so many people turn out on Sunday to protest against the government's decision to exclude transgender people from a ban on conversion therapy. #BanConversionTherapy #LGBwiththeT #StrongerTogether

Today is #PurpleLightUp and International Day of Persons with Disabilities. Our Chief Executive, Matt Prosser shares his reflections on 2022 and where we are headed.

So proud of our Dorset Council UK Disability Employee Network and our “It’s Ok” video. We hope it will educate, raise awareness and inspire change for the better, so we can have a world where disabled people feel safe and proud being themselves. youtu.be/qfVK8fsTkzw

The UK Government has published its Disability White Paper. They've announced reforms to the benefits system, and one is to scrap the work capability assessment. We know this might be worrying, but please remember that the changes won't come into effect immediately (1/5)
