Description
In preparing this project, we carried out a needs diagnosis, both within our organisation and among LGBT+ people who are beneficiaries of our activities. This resulted in the organisation''s work plan for the coming year and a communication plan. Training topics have been developed by a team working with a personal development specialist and stem from the diagnosed needs. Our team is mostly made up of young people. We are constantly working with volunteers. Training is essential to enable us to build the organisation more efficiently and effectively, to manage, plan and organise our activities, and to develop and discover our potential. In our communication plan, we emphasise building a positive image of the organisation in the local environment and online, taking into account the specificity of our activities and target group (LGBT+ people). We create positive messages and plan to carry out social actions and campaigns. We prioritise the development of cooperation with other organisations. We diagnose the needs in terms of support for LGBT+ people and their families on an ongoing basis and, on this basis, we plan activities such as the Safe Place campaign, the offer of psychological support or events in the local community. We will use the grant to professionally organise and continue our activities. Support for LGBT+ people in Bialystok has so far been negligible. The needs of this group are often overlooked in the activities of other organisations and institutions (e.g. schools), as reported to us by recipients and supporters (teachers, parents, psychologists). It is also crucial to raise awareness and understanding in society, to promote acceptance and tolerance towards sexual and gender diversity.
