LGBT Youth Scotland, in partnership with the Highland LGBT Forum and Merkinch Partnership, are delighted to invite you to Safer, Stronger, Fairer, a one day conference to consider how we meet the needs of the LGBT community across the Highlands.

The conference aims to develop dialogue between decision makers and policy makers in Highland, and those responsible for providing services to LGBT people. We would expect to improve opportunities for partnership work, and to identify ways to help partners meet Equality Outcomes and support action plans. There will also be the opportunity to consider the lives and experiences of LGBT people across Highland.
