Celebrating diversity with Space Youth Project
We kickstarted our support for the Space Youth Project charity at their Space Family Day last month.
Building a sense of community & belonging
Space Youth Project is a charity that has been up and running since 2001, welcoming all young gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans and questioning (LGBT+) people across Dorset to join their supportive community. Space Youth Project supports young people who are or may be LGBT+ and empowers them to have positive self-esteem, to know they are supported, to have a sense of community and to overcome issues, caused or intensified by prejudice, in order to facilitate freedom of expression.
The charity provides training, workshops, information and resources on topics of interest for the community and shares and hosts events regularly to bring people together. This includes Space Family Days, arts and craft workshops, nature walks and raffles.
Supporting the Space Family Day event
Partner & Solicitor, Nicola Hall attended the latest Space Family Day event in Christchurch on Saturday 21st March to offer advice and information on legal transition, which was the theme of the event. We provided a leaflet to give people attending legal information on change of name, gender recognition certificates, fertility and LGBT+ parenting journeys. Nicola spoke to attendees and answered their questions surrounding the change of name process.
Following this event, our firm has donated a prize to the Space Youth Project Raffle Fundraiser on Friday 29th May and we look forward to our continued support for the Space Youth Project charity.
Fostering inclusivity
At Ellis Jones we are inclusive and diverse and recognise the importance of celebrating and respecting what makes people unique. We “put people first” which means we promote equality, diversity and inclusion for all staff, clients, third parties, and in our local communities. We have a team of specialist LGBT+ lawyers able to provide guidance on a variety of matters relating to sexual orientation. Our experts have a wealth of experience and understanding of the legal issues which affect the LGBT+ community, including family disputes, divorce, ending civil partnerships, discrimination and employment law.
We are delighted to continue our support for Space Youth Project in promoting a sense of inclusion and community. Donations for the charity can be made via their GoFundMe page. For further information on our legal services, please do not hesitate to contact our LGBT+ team on 01202 525333.
