GENDER FEST CELEBRATION

My mastermind team are planning a small celebration because we have been given the opportunity to create a strategic alliance with local government to progress the vision of 'A Great Place in The World' for transgender people.

Why is this so important?

We feel that provision for the transgender community has been left behind by communities in their efforts to create a diverse service for everyone. Transgender Groups are often grouped with GBLT provision when the needs and issues are different. This is not a criticism however as various consultations have failed to attract feedback from the people who most need the support. No surprise there then! It is likely that The Gender Fest will become a key part of local government delivery in their Diversity Strategy and we are meeting to discuss how to make this happen in a sensitive and discrete manner. This process may delay the first Gender Fest a little but it will be worth waiting to strengthen the event so that it will run annually and draw in mainstream support but in a way that most suits the transgender community.

We would be delighted to recieve your thoughts and ideas on how to make this work best for transgender groups, partners and families.

Gender Fest an Easter Message

Easter sees the detailed planning and design phase in progress for the Gender Fest to be held in Southern England in Spring. There have been some exciting developments arising from networking with strategic partners. We are hoping to deliver an event that will be really enjoyable and focus on the positive energy of the Transgender Community. Currently we are canvassing opinion from the Transgender Community so that the Gender Fest will exactly suit their needs. After some discussion we have a selection of venues that would be suitable for the event and again are canvassing opinion on the most popular venue for our clients . All enquiries should be forwarded to lynne.paris@my-diversity-coaching-gymn.net



My coaching programmes are a Catalyst for Transgender People to Step into a Great Place in The World.
