I feel privileged to be appointed as the evaluator on the LGBTQ+ Gynae Stories Project run by the Wellcome Collection along with artist Marge Bradshaw. This is a participatory research and socially engaged photography project, directly developed with and for LGBTQ+ people in Bolton and beyond.

The three project aims are :

to give the LGBTQ+ community a platform to voice inequalities and inequities with gynaecological healthcare;
to support wellbeing by positively enabling LGBTQ+ community members to share their lived experience of gynaecological healthcare through photography;
to raise public awareness of gynaecological issues (so for example, self-checks).

For more information about the project take a look at Marge’s website here.
