It’s now just over a month since the formation of Pride in Alsager.
The organisation was formed on 27th June 2021 and will be run by the local LGBT community and its allies.
The group’s aims include meeting the needs of the LGBT community in Alsager and surrounding area, and members agreed on a constitution and a committee as part of Pride in Alsager’s formation.
The mission statement of Pride in Alsager is:
The provision and support of information to the LGBTQI+ community in Alsager and surrounding area.
Promotion of anti-discriminatory practice in provision of health, education and local services to the LGBTQI+ community.
Regular auditing and monitoring of local services to create an environment that reduces isolation, distress and increases inclusivity and representation of the LGBTQI+ community.
Identify and listen to the needs of the local LGBTQI+ community regardless of whether they are open about their gender/sexual orientation and work together to meet those needs.
Raising awareness and campaigning for Equal LGBTQI+ rights. (e.g., banning conversion therapy)
Its current priorities are:
- Reaching out to the LGBTQI+ community in Alsager and surrounding areas.
- Working on a survey to identify key demographics, experience of services and needs of the
