[Stonewall @stonewalluk]

Everyone deserves timely access to holistic, high-quality healthcare and to be treated with dignity, privacy and respect throughout their treatment and care.

This includes trans, non-binary and intersex people who already face significant barriers and inequality when accessing NHS care.

#EidMubarak

On this day, 50 years ago, Switchboard took its first call.

Switchboard owes its existence to the unwavering dedication of countless volunteers spanning the past five decades who have had over 4 million conversations in that time.

Thank you to Dan and the Met Police LGBT Team for putting on such an inspiring event for #LGBTplusHM❤️

It was great to share challenges and ideas with other NHS Trusts and community leaders and hear from some amazing speakers!

Too little is being done to protect Trans rights.

As a network we are working hard to create an environment where trans people feel safe to be themselves.🏳️‍⚧️

[Pride in London @PrideInLondon]

Historic Day for equality as Greece legalises same-sex marriage. A landmark win for human rights that affirms LGBTQ+ couples can now marry.

"This shows the power of people united against injustice. Love wins again." - Progress, but still work to do.

The UK Government’s draft trans guidance for schools does not put the best interests of children first, and as such is simply not fit for purpose.
