Voices in Vale Royal

Promoting visibility for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community

Voices in Vale Royal was established in 2003 and is supported by a number of organisations including Vale Royal Borough Council and Cheshire Constabulary. Its goal is to act as a consultation mechanism for various service providers who wished to ascertain the views of LGBT users. The Voices has grown and developed from the initial idea to become a fully autonomous group involved in a wide range of activities including training, promoting equality, social events and consultation.

Extending its remit from just a consultative group Voices has achieved several key milestones over the past 18 months, some of these key milestones include:

Successful fund raising bids
Awareness raising campaigns – e.g. World Mental Health Day
Establishment of a regular social night at a local club
Vale Royal presence at Manchester Pride
Involvement in facilitating changes to health service delivery
Feedback to national consultation on Civil Partnerships
Focus group consultation on key issues in Vale Royal

The group meets on the first Tuesday of each month, for further details contact:
