Our Reports

We recognise that existing health interventions for LGBTQ+ Black and People of Colour (BPoC) have long been designed, implemented and subsequently dominated by non-LGBTQ+ BPoC identities.
As it currently stands, the lack of data may lead to the danger of LGBTQ+ BPoC being marginalised further within the wider community and/or worse, create harmful assumptions that we either do not exist, or that there is not a significant challenge within the healthcare industry.
Our latest resource tool 🌈InsideOUT🌈 amplifies the very voices of LGBTQ+ BPoC to understand barriers, residence and the needs of the community. This evidence base resource will be valuable in academic literature, as the new wave of researchers may also use new methods of recruiting samples and capturing data in marginalised populations.

Health Equity and Advocacy
Training (H.E.A.T.) Programme
Pilot Report
The Health Equity and Advocacy Programme (H.E.A.T.) is a cultural safety development tool for individuals engaging with LGBTQ+ Black and People of Colour across Health, Wellbeing and Equality in the UK. This programme was designed to improve understanding, discussion, and decolonisation of theories and practices that continue to feed the appetite of ill health and present a range of health disparities for LGBTQ+ Black and People of Colour (BPoC) in the widest definition of the phrase.
Outcomes captured from the rollout and delivery of the H.E.A.T. Programme pilot clearly demonstrate the impact of funded training initiatives that highlight the specific needs of racially and sexually minoritised individuals and address health inequalities impacting these communities.
Having engaged a range of voices, incorporating the recommendations and comments from participants will inform the programme’s direction as well as impact other projects and courses we may develop in future.
A Guide to Accessible Working in a Remote Workplace
Disabled LGBTQ+ Black and People of Colour face multiple daily barriers, including at work.
To address the exclusion of disabled people in the workplace, we ran a scheme for folks to learn more about their industries and have a personal access assistant to support them.
Our guide goes into more detail about what we learnt from the scheme. There are also loads of suggestions on ways you can start to make your spaces accessible.
Collaboration with the University of Manchester
We worked with the University of Manchester on a project that's part of their Community Partnership Fund (CPF).
This led to their report - Collaboration for Change: Exploring Effective Collaboration between Academics and Community Organisations.
CPF is aimed at supporting academics and community partners in North West England to co-develop a project that aligns with one of the four social responsibility goals of the Uni:
- Social inclusion
- Better health
- Cultural engagement
- Environmental sustainability
Academics, this one is for you.
