Last year, we awarded a grant of £22,000 to help three hospices in Cheshire improve their services for LGBTQIA+ patients, as research shows that many LGBTQIA+ people avoid accessing health and social care services.
LGBTQ+ Development Facilitator, Ellen (left) is tackling this issue by providing resources, making policy changes, ensuring any paperwork is inclusive and making sure staff have access to meaningful training that supports their ability to support LGBTQIA+ people in a range of contexts.
