Regard: 30 years of campaigning for equality by LGBTQI+ Disabled People

Dr Ju Gosling FRSA invites you to her home studio to listen to some poems and find out more about Disabled LGBTQI+ people; the history of Regard, the national LGBTQI+ Disabled People’s Organisation; and the impact of Covid-19 on our elders and other vulnerable members of our community today.

As many as one in three LGBTQI+ people are Disabled, but our lives remain invisible in the work of mainstream organisations. This presentation will shine a light on the vital work Regard has been doing since 1989 to represent Disabled people in the LGBTQI+ sector; lead on LGBTQI+ issues in the Disability sector; combat social isolation among its members; and campaign on issues that specifically impact on LGBTQI+ Disabled people, especially social care and hate crime.
