Navajo is a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans (LGBT) people's project that aims to involve and serve the LGBT community in terms of their social well being across Lancashire.

Navajo was set up in 1999 in the north-west area of the county following work with focus groups and a stakeholder conference. The concept was initiated from the then North West Lancashire Health Promotion Unit. Tackling oppression, stigma, prejudice and addressing social well-being and acceptance in society of LGB people has a direct positive impact on their health.

Navajo comprises of different elements including the Charter Mark scheme, sexual health projects, and training. Click on the buttons to learn more.

Why the project's founders chose the name "Navajo" : in choosing the name Navajo the partnership wanted to pay generous tribute to the traditions of tolerance, non-discrimination and goodwill that have historically formed a central part of the Navajo Nation's beliefs, including respect being paid to 'two-spirit' people. Those whose sexuality included being attracted to their own gender were deemed to have special spiritual powers and were afforded a "unique" place in their society and were admired and honoured for this.
