LGBT North East is a virtual community, engagement and employment forum for lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people across the UK. 

The forum has been developed by a group of diversity focused people in partnership with Equality North East through their Connecting for Change programme.

LGBT North East recognises that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people can face particular barriers in employment, developing a sense of community and in accessing key services and this forum presents a unique opportunity for LGB and Trans people to support each other and to have their say on how to make things better for all.

In addition to developing the website, LGBT North East has arranged a number of events and conferences to raise awareness of the challenges which can face LGB and trans people in daily life. We are also developing an in-depth LGB workplace survey and a suite of North East LGBT awards.
