FURTHER INFORMATION

the LGBTQ+ community to benefit everyone
How will we do this?

understanding in the local community.

place where the LGBTQ+ community can attend a couple of times a month for support,
advice and guidance and to report hate crime.

becoming Constituted and raising their own funds. The project will provide training for
people who need it to help this happen.
• In each area, there will be a LGBTQ+ support day where local organisations can come
together to show their support for this community.
• Each Hub can send at least one member to a wider Carmarthenshire LGBTQ+ group that will
meet regularly with representatives from the Health Board, police, DWP, etc to create a
better Carmarthenshire for the LGBTQ+ community.
• Develop relationships with other services such as Dyfed Powys Police.

impact on their lives. We will also create case studies and interview people involved in the
project.
