Campaigns & Resources
The LGF provided over half a million printed resources in 2006/07 and numerous large-scale
community campaigns. From Guide To Your Rights information on civil partnerships and legal and civil rights for lesbian, gay and bisexual people, to information on HIV & Sexually Transmitted Infections, the LGF aims to provide essential health andlifestyle resources in a unique and informative way.
These resources come in the form of posters, leaflets, postcards, booklet guides, and advertisements and are freely available throughout the North West. They can also be seen featured in outnorthwest and on our website.
Our campaigns are widely distributed in both scene and non scene venues and are extremely useful for presentations, special events, open days or themed events when information is needed to pass on to the lesbian, gay and bisexual community. LGF also contributes to other organisations’ printed information on the subject of LGB issues, such as resources on diversity, equality, LGB rightsand hate crime as well as many others.
