Birmingham LGBT is working with Birmingham Public Health to find out more about the things which affect the health and wellbeing of LGBTQ+ people and what can be done to make improvements. This is part of the Deep Engagement Partnership, working with a range of agencies across the city, with citizens from communities who experience disadvantage and discrimination.
Rainbow Roundtable is how we work with LGBTQ+ people to hear about what affects their health and wellbeing, about their experiences – good and bad – with services, and how they help themselves and the community. We will work together to develop solutions to help improve their lives. These could be anything from raising awareness and how people can help themselves, to developing new services or improving existing ones.
We will take what we learn to set up activities and see how well they work. Our aim is to continue working with the community towards long-term support that really works.
How can I get involved?
Whether you are an individual, part of a community group and/ or work for an agency that supports (or wants to support) LGBTQ+ people, you can get in touch with Maria Hughes on 0121 643 0821 MariaHughes@blgbt.org
