Projects

Shropshire Council Lesbian Gay Bisexual Network

We also take part in projects related to equality and diversity, including shared consultation and research projects and local Partnership initiatives.

Examples include a proposed multi-agency consultation with lesbian, gay and bisexual people living and working in Shropshire (more details later), and our joint work with Shropshire Council and Shropshire Primary Care Trust to consult with local communities over developing our Single Equality Schemes.
