Hi, I'm Lauren I'm a 3rd year film and media student and I'll be your LGBT+ officer this year. It's my job to represent the LGBT+ students of Newcastle. I aim to make sure everyone is represented and listen to the voices of LGBT+ students

Objectives

 

What's been achieved:

  • Ran a successful Trans awareness with Charlotte (Marginalised Genders Officers) this included informational videos, events, a panel and a new web page. All of this is to help the trans and non binary student experience more comfortable and providing as much support as possible.
  • Currently working on marketing and promotion for LGBT+ week in February.

 

What's next:

  • Run LGBT+ Week alongside LGBT+ Society, raising awareness about the LGBT+ presence in the student body, experiences and issues faced in the LGBT+ community.
  • Speak to political society presidents about a debate or discussion about how each party supports the LGBT+ community.
  • Speak to Jack Green about raising awareness about Zero Discrimination Day (1st March).
