Campaigns at a glance
Here is a one stop shop showing the information resources which the LGF have produced.
These resources are a large part of what we do to make sure that LGB people are informed on a wide range of subjects. They go hand in hand with promotion through our services, media releases and outnorthwest coverage to end homophobia by empowering people.
All of these resources are available for free to LGB people in the North West, but if you are from an school, college, university or organisation in the UK we can get them to you too - postage and a small donation to cover costs may be asked for.
