What a great year it has been for Pride events across the southwest.

On October 5th 2017 the NHS announced that sexual orientation would be monitored in health and social care. We want to talk to members of the LGBT+ community and hear your thoughts.

We are hosting an event on Tuesday 6th March, 1 - 4pm, and it's FREE.

We'll be discussing:

• The media response
• What it will look like in practice
• Answering any questions you have
• How you can help reduce inequalities faced by Lesbian, Gay & Bisexual people.

To register for a space, head to: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/thanks-for-asking-sexual-orientation-monitoring-in-the-nhs-tickets-42872262090

As the Pride season draws to a close, we just wanted to say a big thank you to all the Pride organisers across the South West. We have enjoyed each and every event, and we are grateful for the opportunity to let people know more about the important work that Intercom continues to do. Also a big thank you to everyone that has come along to our stalls throughout the year and taken the time to chat to us.

We look forward to seeing you in 2017.
