Last week we had the privilege of attending the Spirit of Manchester Awards, organised by Manchester Community Central. The awards celebrate and highlight the excellent work being carried out in Manchester’s voluntary and community sector, and LGBT Foundation were nominated for the Volunteer Involving Organisation award! This is a true testament to the enthusiasm and dedication of all of our volunteers! A group of LGBT Foundation volunteers, staff and trustees went to the event, and we had a lovely time celebrating @mcrcommcentral #SpiritOfMcr24
