LGBT Regional Conference - 5 March, York
You are invited to a free Yorks & the Humber regional LGBT conference
This year's Regional LGBT Conference is free, will be in York, and the theme will be 'Sexual Orientation and the Law'.
Each LGBT group, network or organisation in Yorkshire & The Humber region is invited to send four participants. Equality & diversity departments and agencies working with LGBT people are also invited to send up to four delegates. Apart from the themed working sessions, it'll be a great opportunity to share good practice, network, support capacity building, share learning and build support across the region.
If your group has an income of less than £5000, we may be able to help with reasonable travel costs.
Individual places will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
