A large group of students are going to London Pride tomorrow. They will all be wearing t-shirts which have been professionally printed with the new promotional poster for the Havering College LGBT Social & Support Group. This poster can be seen as an attachment on the previous blog.

This idea was generated by students and will be a great way of promoting the college as a LGBT friendly place for young people to study and students will also be wearing these t-shirts at future EDIF^definition Dissemination days to show their work to everyone who attends.

We will add a group photo next week after Pride!

Happy New Year to you all.

Our LGB^definition&T project continues to gain momentum. Yesterday we had a Havering LGB^definition&T representative from the Metropolitan Police meet with our student LGB&T group which resulted in a lively discussion and the opportunity to raise awareness of transgender issues and support.

The group were made aware of the extent of support the Metropolitan Police offer  LGB&T young people. Ideas were also shared regarding LGB&T Awareness month.

 The LGB&T rep from the Metrapolitan Police will now be helping us deliver workshops to our hair and beauty students regarding working with transgender clients.

On Saturday we are running our creative arts workshop day with our community partners and LGB&T young people. Information regarding this will be posted next week.
