The National Union of Students has welcomed this February’s LGBT+ History Month and says “Here are some ideas for students and students' unions to help you mark LGBT+ History Month:
Join your LGBT+ Society!
Consider creating well-being workshops or safe spaces for networking and celebrating LGBT+ students at your instituion.
Raise awareness! Invite a local charity to your institution to talk about LGBT+ history and highlight its importance.
Host a clothes swap! With the rising cost of living, students who are transitioning to live in their gender might not be able to afford new clothing. Setting up a clothes swap is easy, convenient, fun and engages a wide range of students.
Plan and start a campaign! If you feel like there's something lacking in your instituion or SU, consider starting a campaign e.g. for gender neutral bathrooms.”
Resources are available for local NUS LGBT+ Societies on the National Union of Students Website.
