The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Cymru Helpline has received a grant of £10,000 from the Social Risk Fund, a European small grants scheme administered by the Wales Council for Voluntary Action that aims to support projects that take chances and do something innovative to regenerate local communities across Wales. The grant will assist the Helpline to launch a project called "Tell me!" that will train 15 individuals from around Wales in counselling and research skills.
"Tell me!" will enable the Helpline to provide a listening hear and counselling services to LGBT across Wales whilst mapping out issues that people face due to their sexual orientation or gender identity as well as the services that are available to them.
Federico Podeschi, Managing Director of the LGBT Cymru Helpline, said:
"We are ecstatic to have received the support of this funding that will help us deliver more support to all LGBT people in Wales. "Tell me!" aims to combat social exclusion and improve the quality of life for communities across Wales as well as helping people from disadvantaged backgrounds towards employment or to gain new skills, in order to, increase the opportunities for employment".
Application for this training opportunity are being welcomed from LGBT people across Wales by visiting the Helpline's website where applications to become a volunteer for the project can be submitted.
