The Extended Neighbourhood: PDF version (757 Kb).

In January 2007, after community consultation, we published an LGBT Community Strategy called The Extended Neighbourhood. We tried to make this a comprehensive analysis and summary of community needs within the peninsula, and we hope it will be used widely by policy makers and strategic planners. It is still very definitely work in progress: we will be very glad to have any thoughts for revision and improvement. We do not have a stock of printed copies, so please download it from here.

 

Topical Guidelines for Good Practice

We are developing short position papers for our stakeholders and partner agencies on how to include---or how not to exclude---LGBT people from their activities. To have a look at where we've got to at present, go to our Topical Guidelines page.

Research Documents

Community Resources Project : Final Report (June 2006)

This is the final report of our project to identify and get in touch with as many as possible of the independent LGB and Trans community groups and projects in the peninsula. There are now many more such independent groups and projects known to us, but the 2004 report is still of interest as a snapshot of broad-spectrum community needs at the time. Many current needs are still the same.

Right Royal Get Together Report (December 2005)

This is the report of the big networking conference we hosted for the independent LGBT community groups and projects in September 2005. Workshops and plenary sessions identified over forty action-points for Intercom, for the LGBT sector, and for service-providers.

A Firmer Foundation (September 2006) (PDF version, 1072 Kb)

A Firmer Foundation was published in September 2006. It is the report of the results of a big community survey we conducted in the peninsula covering both rural and urban LGBT residents. We are very happy to send out printed copies of A Firmer Foundation while stocks last: just get in touch with us if you would like us to send you one.
