Hello all, Does anyone have any useful contacts for groups or forums which the correspondent could approach? Thanks, Clive --------------------Original Message-------------------- From: Chris Mattinson <chris.ryan.m@xxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: 2014/10/20 22:00:46 To: County.hall@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: LGBTQI Opportunities in Kent To whom it may concern, I have recently been a part of the Stonewall Youth Talent Programme, the final formal part of which was an invitation to the Launch of their Starting Out- Careers guide, in which I was happy to see Kent County Council represented, as well as other areas such as some NHS services and the University of Kent where I work having graduated this year. There is currently a large LGBTQI community in Kent and I am trying to find out about as many opportunities that are in Kent for LGBT people. Having been a student, the obvious link for me was the student society, but for those not in full time education or under the age of 18, it is sometimes difficult to know how to get involved or find other people to relate to, especially in such a large and diverse county. I know of some groups, such as Mermaids, that currently operate in Kent for LGBTQI people, and I would be very interested in setting up some new groups and communities to help support people in the local area and allow them a safe space. The appearance of Kent County Council in the Stonewall guide reassures me that LGBTQI people are becoming better represented and thought about at Kent, and it would be great to meet with someone to discuss what could be done in Kent to make our county more diverse and to provide more safe spaces for young people that aren't just a bar or a university group- it's time to stretch out even further! Some brilliant progress is being made and I would love to be a part of it. As we now have the founder of LGBT History Month living in Kent, we have an excellent opportunity to show the county as a champion of diversity, especially when it comes to education, safety for the young and sexual health. If there is anyone that I can be put in correspondence with or meet with to discuss what else we can do in Kent, I would love to get more involved (having previously been LGBT President at the University of Kent and a recent Stonewall Talent alumni). I look forward to hearing from the council soon, Chris Mattinson, Volunteer Societies and RaG Coordinator, Kent Union, University of Kent
