humankind - lgbt+ north east
Durham
Humankind was first listed as a registered charity in 1984. We are committed to
reducing deprivation and exclusion and to improving people’s wellbeing; our
vision is for people of all ages to be safe, building ambitions for the future
and reaching towards their full potential.
We are an established provider of LGBT+ services and have recognised/supported
LGBT+ young people across the North-East for over 14 years. During this time, we
have undertaken significant growth in our model and delivery areas, based on
service user/partner feedback, referrals, and issue presentation. This growth
has led to the development of our training offer and the appointment of a full
time Lead Trainer at the beginning of 2022.
While our support services are based in the North-East, we offer a range of CPD
accredited training sessions to professionals, young people and schools
nationwide. These sessions have been developed by a team with extensive and
varied lived, professional and teaching experience. Our training sessions cover
topics including LGBT+ Awareness, Gender Identity Awareness, Creating an LGBT+
Inclusive Environment and Understanding Pronouns. The development of these
sessions has resulted in our team having an in depth understanding of the issues
faced by members of the LGBT+ community in the workplace, the challenges they
can face and strategies to promote allyship and effective inclusion.
