We’re delighted to announce that LonGBoaT Wakefield has achieved full membership status with Consortium LGBT+, a leading network championing the development and sustainability of LGBT+ groups, projects, and organisations across the UK.


This milestone reflects our commitment to inclusivity, equality, and creating a safe, supportive space for our members. Full membership in Consortium LGBT+ brings exciting opportunities, resources, and connections that will allow us to grow and better serve our community.


As a full member, Longboat Wakefield will have access to:

  1. Funding Opportunities: We can apply for grants and financial support exclusively available to Consortium members, helping us enhance our services and initiatives.

  2. Training and Resources: Consortium offers expert-led workshops, guides, and resources to strengthen our organisation’s impact.

  3. Networking: Membership connects us to an expansive network of LGBT+ organisations, fostering collaboration and shared learning.

  4. Advocacy Support: We’ll benefit from Consortium’s voice in lobbying and policy-making, amplifying our community's concerns and needs on a national scale.

  5. Recognition: Full membership validates our work as part of a collective effort to promote LGBT+ rights and inclusion.


Consortium LGBT+ is the UK’s national umbrella body for LGBT+ organisations, working tirelessly to build a thriving and sustainable LGBT+ voluntary sector. Their mission is to provide support, resources, and connections that empower groups like ours to deliver meaningful change.

Joining Consortium as a full member strengthens our ability to connect with the wider LGBT+ community and advocate for positive change locally and nationally. We’re excited about the journey ahead and thank you for your continued support as we embrace this new chapter.
