LBTQWomen
In 2016 only 8% of corporate nominations came from lesbian or bisexual women. Due to the number being low a survey was undertaken to understand this demographic better, and in October 2016 LBQ Women was created.
It is an initiative that is designed to give more visibility to lesbian and bisexual women in the workplace, to provide role models and show that women can be out and successful.
In 2017 35% of corporate nominations came from lesbian and bisexual women, which is great news!

Diversity Careers
We have been focussing on linking up employers with diverse candidates including LGBT+ young people for several years. For many LGBT+ people, working for a company that supports LGBT people is important, however for employers finding these people can be difficult so we are delighted to be able to help in this area.
BAME representation
The British LGBT Awards recognises the particular challenges that ethnic minorities within the LGBT+ community face. After the lack of nominations for the awards, a round table was hosted to discuss the solutions.
