We are delighted to announce that Empowerment has been awarded the, ‘Working Towards- Lancashire LGBT Quality Mark’ by Lancashire LGBT (https://lancslgbt.org.uk/quality-mark/). This marks significant progress in Empowerment’s journey to be a truly diverse organisation, whereby people from the LGBT community find Empowerment to be a place of welcome for staff and volunteers and for those who access and engage with our services.

We still have some work to do and we will be working hard to make some more changes so as to achieve the full LGBT Quality Mark… we will be doing this as soon as possible.

Many of friends in the LGBT community still face discrimination and bigotry on a daily basis; Empowerment with its values of Kindness, Justice and Equality must make sure that we do all that we can so that people in the LGBT community experience those values here at Empowerment and in our wider community.
