The Charter Mark

Here at Navajo we really want to encourage more Charter Mark holding organisations to get involved in the actual running of the project, whether by joining the Navajo Consultative Partnership or by becoming a Navajo Ambassador and helping with the assessment and monitoring process, hosting events and meetings, contributing some funds for publicity, or helping to widen the provision of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans awareness training to organisations throughout Lancashire.

So, whether you’re an organisation that has been heavily involved over the years or one that actually forgot for a while that it held the Charter Mark (!) you are most welcome to contact us to find out how you can support us.

We would like to extend a warm welcome and best wishes to the latest Charter Mark holders: Hyndburn Borough Council, the Museum of Lancashire, Lancashire County Council Young people's Service, and Streetlife in Blackpool.

Lancashire LGBT

Since its inception in 1999 the former ‘Preston Lesbian and Gay Centre Group’ has gradually evolved and was formally constituted in 2009 with a Board of Trustees then renamed ‘The Lancashire LGBT Centre Group’ and is now branded as Lancashire LGBT.

Lancashire LGBT has been working closely with a number of partners and recently secured major funding for three years from the Big Lottery Fund to initiate the Isaac Hitchen Project  which will help to achieve the organisation's objectives of promoting and developing social, economic, cultural and community activity.

Based on the values of inclusion and equality Lancashire LGBT strives to be innovative and creative in order to engage, empower and inspire people to become involved within the LGBT community, and to challenge homophobia, biphobia and transphobia whenever and wherever it arises.

The Navajo Charter Mark itself is currently FREE but should you wish as an organisation to make a charitable donation or organise a fund raising event to help cover the costs of the Charter MArk scheme it would be very welcome.
