South Gloucestershire Equalities Forum

The South Gloucestershire Equalities Forum (SGEF) brings together public and voluntary sector organisations working to achieve a shared vision of South Gloucestershire being a place where people and communities are able to live without fear or experience of discrimination.

Our aim is to bring together all the information we have about equality communities in South Gloucestershire. This includes research reports and news of local and regional events of interest to equality organisations, staff who are working to help their organisation improve the way in which they serve members of equality communities and individuals with an interest in these issues.

For more information on the Forum or upcoming events please see below.

If you have questions, or information, events, research you would like added to this site please contact The South Gloucestershire Equalities Forum

These Equality webpages have been kindly supported by Merlin Housing Society
