HART GABLES
Our team works with some of UKs most marginalised communities.
All money raised by our fund-raising project LGBT Advance goes directly back into our service, supporting those who are living with a disability, on their journey to seek asylum or, are living with poor mental health. Many of our service users are often repeat victims of hate crime and discrimination, living in poverty and more often than enough, they are socially isolated.

“An informative course delivered by a passionate, involved, team. I felt immediately at ease with what could easily be a daunting subject for a person of my age and background. Time flew by and I certainly left the course feeling better informed and positive that I could put my learning into use.”

The training was thought provoking, educational and what really made it was the facilitators (who were very engaging) bringing their own personal experiences into what was being discussed.”
