FFLAG

We've been thinking long and hard about our future on X. We’ve had some good times over the years, publicising our support offer, speaking out with our fellow LGBT+ partner organisations and sharing our pride in our LGBT+ loved ones.   But nothing lasts forever …

@IanSollom It was brilliant to see you there Ian - thank you for making the time for us 🙏

I attended a briefing from parents with LGBT+ children to listen to their unique insights about the challenges they face, including bullying in schools and healthcare inequalities. @OfficialFFLAG

National Apprenticeship Week #NAW2025 was brilliant. During every event, I gained much insight into the challenges faced in the current system and how apprentices are working to fill the UK’s various skills gaps. Here are some highlights from the week (and from my other work!)👇

You can still find us on Facebook and Instagram and we've also joined Bluesky so if you're not already following us there come and say hello @fflaguk

So we've decided that X is no longer the right place for us to reach the people we need to reach or achieve the things we need to achieve. We won't be posting on X but will continue to shout loudly and speak up for LGBT+ people and their allies as much as we can everywhere else.
