Become Friends of the Equality Network
We can’t do this without you. We need you. You help us when you promote our work, when you come to our conferences, when you respond to our surveys, when you use our resources, and when you donate money that we can use in our work and campaigns outside the funded projects.
Every week, at least 40 weeks out of the year, for the past five years, the Equality Network has sent LGBT News to our network of individuals, organisations, venues, local and national government, statutory bodies. News and events sent to us, researched by us: promoting local, national, UK-wide, European, and global equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people. We believe in providing clear and accurate information to government and grassroots, to corporations and employees, to the single and the partnered, to all the diverse LGBT communities.
If you’re reading this, you know that spreading LGBT News is only part of what we do: from conferences to national LGBT websites, the Equality Network strives to be inclusive and open in our work, to challenge discrimination and to consult, involve and inform the individuals and the communities for which we work.
We’ve achieved a lot.
EveryoneIN, our recent report on the experience of minority ethnic LGBT people, and the intersectionality of the discrimination they face, has received international recognition: because of our work Scotland is the only country in Europe where legislation explicitly covers transphobic hate crime: our guide to your rights as a bidie-in,
Shacked Up, for same-sex couples living together in Scotland, is uniquely useful.
We can’t do this without you. We need you.
You help us when you promote our work, when you come to our conferences, when you respond to our surveys, when you use our resources, and when you donate money that we can use in our work and campaigns outside the funded projects.
We’re asking you to become Friends of the Equality Network. You can
give to us online, via a secure donations site designed for charities, or by filling in the attached standing order form. We receive generous funding for our projects, but like every other charity, our running costs exceed our project funding. We need your help to continue doing everything we already do, and to enable us to do more.
If you will commit to giving us from £5 a month, we would like to give you an icon you can display on your Facebook page or website or your blog. Your name will be listed on the page
www.equality-network.org/friends (in whatever form you prefer: you can also opt to be an Unknown Friend) and your donations will be used to support our continuing work.
But whether you can afford to give money or not, we thank you: we wouldn’t be the Equality Network without you.
