The Equity Partnership

Info

Equity Partnership is a charity set up and delivered by LGBTQ+ people in Bradford and the surrounding areas. We support LGBTQ+ groups and individuals to have a say in the decisions taken by agencies which affect our lives.

We play an active role in developing our LGBT communities by supporting existing groups and helping new ones to start through our community development work. We run the bi-monthly Groups Forum, where groups and individuals come together to network and discuss issues. We support LGBT groups and individuals to have a say in the decisions taken by agencies which affect our lives. We work in partnership with other voluntary and statutory agencies to ensure that local services are appropriate to the needs of LGBT people. We send representatives to the Council's Equality Forum to influence how their services are run, and to the Homophobic Scrutiny panel run by West Yorkshire Police, to influence how they deal with complaints about homophobic hate crime.

Our training programme is geared towards giving organisations the knowledge and tools to combat homophobia and create LGBT-friendly workplaces and services. Our Equity Centre provides a relaxed meeting space for groups, a fully-equipped training resource and a venue for events, right in the centre of Bradford.
