We offer specialist LGBTQ+ inclusion training to all sectors across the UK
LGBT Advance – Training and Consultancy is our fundraising project and we’ve been training public, private and voluntary sector organisations across the North East since 2018. Our team of qualified trainers brings a wealth of professional, academic, and lived experience to every session.
Every pound raised through LGBT Advance goes directly back into Hart Gables, providing essential support to individuals living with poor mental health, those who are seeking asylum, and those who are living with physical and hidden disabilities. Many of our service users face the harsh realities of recurring hate crimes, discrimination, poverty, and social isolation.
