An update on plans to ban ‘conversion therapy’:

An update on plans to ban ‘conversion therapy’:

As you may know in previous years in my speech at the House of Lords Reception, I have expressed my anger and dismay at such barbaric and antiquated method being used in legality in UK.
The current petition of over 200,000 signatures followed another two on this issue. Despite its inclusion in the Government’s 2018 LGBT Action Plan, legislation has still not been introduced.

The Network's talks July and August, and our weekly meetings.

Dear Supporters of The Network,
Hope all is well with you.
In July we do not have a speaker, as he thought it best to wait and find out what is happening.
It is too early yet to decide whenever and  whether or not we are going to go back to physical meetings, the Civil Service Club is reopening on Monday but the covid-19 preventative measure make it impossible at the moment with no more than 4 people in a room! It may well be that do a combination of both zoom and physical meeting in the future but time only will tell.
In August Sandra Shevey is talking about Alfred Hitchcock, and it will be online given the present circumstances, you can book and discover more about it on Zoom. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-network-with-sandra-shevey-alfred-hitchcock-registration-75299196925 Please note that the meeting will be in evening gearing us back to normal timings.k
