Conversation Cafés Lunch with Natalie and Alex - (POSTPONED)


Unfortunately, the LGBT Charter Group has just been informed that one of our external speakers for tomorrow is ill. Tomorrow’s event will, therefore, be re-scheduled and we will be in touch shortly with a new date and time. Thank you for understanding.


The Care Inspectorate’s LGBT Charter Group would like to invite Care Inspectorate staff, volunteers and people working in care services to register for our upcoming conversation cafés. We are creating a safe and respectful space to hear a conversation about what it is like to be transgender. This will be achieved by reminding everyone to act in accordance with our organisational values.

I’m based in Edinburgh where I live with my partner Ross and daughter Cara.  In my spare time I enjoy walking in woods and swimming in reservoirs and lochs, usually with my best friend - Archie the border terrier.
