The current COVID-19 crisis has changed the way LGBTI groups work. All over Scotland groups are going online, using new tools and ways of reaching people and continuing to provide vital social support for LGBTI people.
The LGBTI Groups Virtual Roundtable is an opportunity for LGBTI groups, inc. pride organisers, staff networks, social and support groups, organisations and sports clubs, to come together to discuss the challenges faced during this crisis and to agree collective steps we can take to support our communities.
We're pleased we will be joined by Christina McKelvie MSP, Scottish Government Minister for Older People and Equalities to share what the government is doing to support LGBTI people during COVID-19 and to listen to the views of LGBTI groups.
While the primary focus of the meeting will be COVID-19 we would welcome agenda items from groups around the country on that topic, or other pressing issues.
Please free to invite other committee members or people involved in the running of your group.
