We are a national specialist infrastructure and Membership organisation. We focus on the development and support of LGBT groups, organisations and projects so they can deliver direct services and campaign for individual rights.
In our programme of activities we:
- consult on key issues with our Members and give feedback to policy makers and stakeholders
- advocate for our Members’ concerns and issues – around funding, capacity and local engagement – with policy makers
- help develop our Members through training and guidance
- create resources to help Members grow their organisations
- promote the existence and value of LGBT groups and organisations
The Consortium is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee.

There are three parts to this project:
- Providing lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender voluntary and community organisations across the country with information, guidance, case studies and practical examples of how equalities and human rights law applies to their working environments, all contained within a new dedicated website.
- As LGBT organisations are geographically spread the website will be backed up by a national programme of training on key legal areas in conjunction with LGBT lawyers to promote its best practice and practical use.
- New links between LGBT organisations will encourage development of brokered relationships so more LGBT lawyers become trustees of LGBT organisations, or can offer pro-bono support, to embed legal knowledge in a very practical way.
