This was LGBT’s Soc.  most sucsessful and biggest campaign, ran and orginised by Robert Wayman. in conjunction with the Students union. All event’s had a great turn out and mainly from NON LGBT students. We had over 61 people tested for HIV and around 50 people attend the LGBT question time.  We had a stall in our squares for 3 of the days which may staff and students came up and spoke to us. We raised over 150 pounds for Stonewall charity during the week,

Here is the plan of what happened:

“An LGBT awareness week NOT about breaking stereotypes, but about getting people to accept members of the LGBT community for who they are as a person, not what they are and in turn breaking down the issues they face.”
