LGBT+ History Month · February
LGBT+ History Month talks for organisations
A session with substance: the actual history, the year-round things that shape people's daily experience, and how to be clear about conduct without getting lost in public debate.
What the talk covers
Shaped around your audience, but a typical session includes:
- The history itself, including how recently it was actively suppressed in British workplaces and schools
- Why LGBT+ History Month is a history month rather than a celebration, and why that distinction matters
- What inclusion looks like beyond visible support, in systems, policies and everyday practice
- Handling public disagreement without retreating into silence
- What colleagues can do as allies that is genuinely useful rather than decorative
- Open, non-defensive conversation with time for real questions
What is included
Every booking includes the following as standard:
- A scoping conversation beforehand, so the session fits your organisation and your people
- The session itself, delivered online or in person
- Slides and any handouts used on the day
- A practical takeaway so people leave with something they can act on
- Time for questions and discussion, with an option to gather questions anonymously in advance
- Accessibility considered throughout, including captions online and materials in advance on request
What your organisation gets from it
- A February that has substance rather than a changed logo
- Clarity on the year-round practical things: names in systems, inclusive policy language, manager confidence
- A clear standard of expected behaviour, separate from contested public debate
- One concrete change your organisation can make afterwards
Formats
Talks can be shaped to the time you have:
- A lunch-and-learn style session, the most popular format for awareness months
- A longer workshop where people work through the material themselves
- A keynote for a conference, away day or all-staff event
- A panel appearance or fireside conversation
- Delivered online or in person, across the UK
February books up from December onwards. Pricing depends on format and travel, get in touch for a clear figure.
