HRRA urges LGBT people to fill in questionnaire about their needs and experiences
Following the successful Equalities Forum on November 5th, the forum is launching its second piece of research – this time focusing on LGBT communities! This anonymous questionnaire gives local LGBT people the chance to speak up, and to share their stories and experiences. Visit www.surveymonkey.com/s/lgbthastingsandrother to find out more or to take the questionnaire. Keep your eyes peeled for more information coming soon, including dates of drop-in sessions at which you can fill in the questionnaire for those who don’t have a computer or are not sure about how to work the survey.

The forum’s first report on LGBT equalities in Hastings, Rother and wider East Sussex is now available! It maps the equality policies and initiatives of our local public services, and makes a series of recommendations for public services, communities and community groups, and the equalities forum itself. You can get this report from the Facebook page – www.facebook.com/lgbthastingsandrother - or request a copy from Nick McGlynn of Brighton University (n.mcglynn2@brighton.ac.uk).
