Pride, Progress & Transformation

The South West Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual (LGB) and Transgender (Trans) Equality Networks have come together to launch "Pride, Progress & Transformation", a research project designed to identify the real issues for LGB & Trans people living, working and visiting the South West. With the support of Equality South West (ESW) and Poole Borough Council, the Networks have devised a survey to give LGB & Trans people an opportunity to have their say.

Full details of the survey can be found here: Pride, Progress and Transformation
