The Network brings together smaller LGBT not-for profit groups to get to know and support each other, share opportunities and resources, and to access specialist advice, information and support to help with their work.
Facebook has a pubic page which promotes the groups work and is open to everyone to see what’s happening, share interest and comment. There is also a closed Facebook group for network group members to socialise, discuss their groups work, share opportunities and ways of supporting each other.
Gary Pargeter, one of Community Works’ LGBT Reps, said: “The new public Facebook page is a great place for our groups to tell our stories and promote our work. Our smaller groups do such a huge amount of grassroots work which has immense value to our community. We hope everyone will start using and looking at this page, linking in with their own social media, and see just how much is going on in LGBT voluntary & community work.
“The new members group will be a great place for groups to socialise, keep in touch, share advice and information and support each other. Big thanks to Chris Cooke, Community Works LGBT rep; and Lucas Abedecain, Shadow LGBT Community Works Rep. and Allsorts President and Trustee for his help in getting Facebook up and running.”
