This month, we celebrate #LGBTHistoryMonth. The theme this year is #ActivismAndSocialChange. LGBT activists have a strong history of shaping social change - by honouring the work done previously, we inspire the next generation of activists to continue fighting for equality.

Our committee were saddened to hear of the passing of Lynn Sheridan, our former co-convenor. Lynn was a friend to many and our thoughts are with her family and all who knew her.
