From Tosin Lawal, tosin.lawal@bristol.gov.uk
I am an intern at the Bristol City Council working in the Equalities Department. I am writing to ask if you would like to be part of this short term project. The aim of the program is to collect and carry out a survey on the quality of life in Bristol of LGB people and also to show the diversity of LGB workers. The booklet will profile the variety of jobs undertaken by LGB staff working in Bristol.
So far there are about 20 people who have shown their interest in the project. There isn’t a guarantee that all the people interviewed will be featured in the booklet, but they might feature on the front cover, if they want to.
What is required from LGB staff
1) Consider whether you would like to be profiled in the booklet? Photo and short info on what you do as part of your job.
2) Contact me at the above email address if you would like to volunteer to be profiled.What will be the product.
The booklet will look a bit like one the council produced for BME staff in 2009. But the focus will be the breadth of job opportunities available across the public sector in Bristol and it will also include a little on each partner organisation’s commitment/actions to promoting LGB equality.At present we have funding to produce the document as a PDF only but are seeking funding from public sector partners to produce the information as a paper copy.
For further information, queries or interest in participating please feel free to contact me.
