AIMS & OBJECTIVES

if you've ever been to one of our meetings or attended one of our conferences, chances are you'll have seen our banner displayed. The quotations on it are taken from our A&Os. We've tried to make them simple and straightforward, so that they can be used to truly inspire our work.

OUR CONSTITUTION

This is the very formal part of our Forum, and is the legal basis for what we do.

OUR HISTORY

The SGLGBF was set up in 1997 shortly after the creation of South Gloucestershire Council when Avon County Council was broken up. The aim has always been for the Forum to represent the LGB community and question the Council on its policies and procedures as they affect us.

Like all organisations, we have evolved over the years, with highs and lows that reflect the level of commitment its members have. Currently, there is a new impetus to engage more with the area's minority groups, and given that the LGB community is one of the largest (estimated at 6% or about 15,000 people), new efforts are being made.

Principally, this is led by the Council's Equalities Team, but they can only bas as effective as the Forum's members are. Where scrutiny or consultation is needed, it helps to have experts and interested parties available. If you can help, you can either attend our meetings or use your mouse to make your feelings know.
