Health and Social Care Network -‘Tackling the health inequalities experienced by LGBTQ+ communities’
Join us for the rescheduled Health and Social Care Network (Brighton and Hove) event
This Health and Social Care Network meeting will be delivered in partnership with the Sussex VCSE Leaders Alliance (SVLA).
A chance for VCSE organisations and our public sector partners to deep-dive into ‘Tackling the health inequalities experienced by LGBTQ+ communities’. Bringing together organisations working by and for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, and questioning their sexual orientation and/or gender identity (LGBTQ+) communities across Brighton & Hove, the event will provide an opportunity to share learning, showcase community-led initiatives, and explore opportunities for greater collaboration across health and social care.
As always, there will be opportunities for networking throughout the afternoon. We encourage our members involved in health and social care across Brighton & Hove to attend, contribute their perspectives, and help strengthen our collective response to health inequalities.
