This year the steering group prioritised the pledges from the Charter aimed at businesses. Inspired by similar programmes in Nottingham and Manchester, we developed a new scheme called “Come In and Rest,” which encourages businesses to invite older people to sit down for a few moments when they are out and about. Participating businesses put a sticker in the window so older people know they can go in and take a seat, without the obligation to purchase anything. The steering group have helped with every aspect of the scheme, including the branding, the launch, and getting businesses signed up. Response to the scheme from older people has been extraordinarily positive, with many saying such a scheme would make them feel more confident about going out in Leeds. 6 Age Friendly Leeds Digital Inclusion We advised Leeds City Council on making In the coming year we will be looking at Light Night more accessible to older people, how we can work in partnership to increase and took a trip with Canal Connections digital inclusion for older people in the city. to help them improve their age friendly practices.

One of my proudest achievements here has been the LGBT+ Conservatives Candidates’ Fund, which has supported so many people into parliament and raised tens of thousands of pounds. As the fund matures it is moving into a new governance structure, and I hope to play a role in that future. I am thrilled to be succeeded by Elena Bunbury. I know that she will bring new energy to the organisation, and I hope it will continue to thrive under her leadership. I am so grateful to everyone who has supported me on this journey. In particular Emma Warman, Matthew Green and John Cope who have provided wise counsel as Deputy Chairman. To Sean Anstee who has transformed the finances of the organisation.

  • History Month
    LGBT+ HISTORY MONTH A celebration of LGBT+ History Month by the North East, Yorkshire and the Humber LGBT+ Committee highlighting positive actions and changes over the years The Wolfenden Committee publishes a report recommending that ‘homosexual behaviour between consenting adults in 1957 private should no longer be a criminal offence’. The then Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Geoffrey Fisher, and the British Medical Association backed the recommendation. Despite this, the Conservative Government rejected the recommendations. The Nullity of Marriage Act was passed by the Conservative Government. The Act explicitly banned same-sex marriages in England and 1971 Wales. The House of Commons moves to reduce the age of consent for same-sex relations between men to the age of 16. The vote was defeated and the age of consent was instead 1994 lowered to 18. An age of consent for same-sex relations between women was not set. The age of consent for same-sex relations between men was lowered to 16, having previously been lowered from 21 to 18 in 1994. 2001 The age of consent was now the same for same-sex relations and hetrosexual relations. The Civil Partnership Act 2004 was passed, giving same- sex couples the same rights and responsibilities as married hetrosexual couples in the UK (although in N Ireland same-sex adoption was exempt). 2004 The Gender Recognition Act 2004 gave trans people full legal recognition in their appropriate gender. The Act allows trans people to acquire a new birth certificate. The Marriage (Same-Sex Couples) Act 2013 officially comes into force, with the first saame-sex marriages in England and Wales taking place on 29 March 2014.
