Feeling as though his sexuality was incompatible with his faith, Dave turned to prayer for guidance, eventually realising that he needed to accept himself for who he truly was. Playing an instrumental role in developing post-16 educational provision and support for students and young people with special educational needs, Dave has provided individual guidance to young people on a range of issues, including gender issues. Through his work at Oasis Open House Dave has created a safe and inclusive space where individuals can connect, share their experiences, and find support. His work has helped break down barriers and create more welcoming environments for LGBT+ individuals in religious communities.     The National Diversity Awards Ceremony was an absolute spectacle, in the best way possible. It was like attending a grand ball where every guest is a hero in their own right. The atmosphere was electric – imagine a mix of the Oscars, a bit of the Royal Variety Performance, and a dash of a family reunion you actually want to be at!   Read the full interview HERE     Accelerating DEI in 2024 – Facilitated by Utopia     14th March | 12.00 - 13.00   As we go into 2024 we want to be set-up for success to accelerate DEI.
