LGB&T Launch Event 2012

Suffolk New College launched the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender (LGB&T) History Month 2012 and Suffolk LGB&T Network on Wednesday, 1st February 2012.

The launch saw a number of keynote speakers including Cllr Mary Young (Suffolk County Council  Assistant Portfolio Holder for Sport, Culture, Diversity, Health and Wellbeing), Cllr Sandy Martin (Ipswich Borough Council), Acting Chief Constable Paul Marshall, and DavidWilliams (Suffolk LGB&T Network). 

As part of this event Outreach Youth also premiered “Sticks and Stones”, an award nominated short film about the affects of language on young people.

We also had a number of organisations providing a community village which offered information from a number of local and national organisations committed to LGB&T equality.

The event was a great success and we look forward to next years event.
