LGBTQ+ Staff Network

University of Cumbria LGBTQ+ Network

#PROUDTOBEUOC

The LGBTQ+ Staff Network was founded in September 2019 and now has over 50 members across our 5 campuses. The network sees colleagues come together every two months to share information, experiences, ideas, and concerns in a safe space that is open for all, regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity. That includes allies.

The key focus for the network is visibility, education, and the development of a social community on and off-campus. 

Get to know more about our network with Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Professor Brian Webster-Henderson.
