3 years, hundreds of interviews, dozens of Prides (including our own), many outreach programmes and a handful of crazy events left us realising that whilst the community has come a long way, there is still some way to go.
Community engagement away from Pride is sometimes still lacking and with vicious attacks on particularly the Trans community in the press, show that advocacy and education is now more important that ever.

Why we do what we do
The past 3 years running Medway Pride Radio exposed us to very real needs within the LGBT+ community both locally and nationally. During this time, we have been fortunate enough to make a lot of friends and sadly some are no longer with us. This has often been as a result of a lack of access to support structures, education and community. And we want to change that.
COMING SOON!
We are working on various LGBT+ projects and events that will launch over the summer. Check back for more details soon.
