The York Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Forum was established in 2006, to act as a strong and unified voice for the local LGBT community. We achieved charity status in 2015. We also represent other minority groups who fall under the LGBT umbrella. Under our charity constitution we have a voting membership, so by becoming a member today you can have a say in the running of the York LGBT Forum! Whilst the Forum works within the York and North Yorkshire area, it isn’t exclusive to York. We have recently started to work internationally. Our Aims are
