I'm writing to let you know that there's only 10 days left to apply for our next two Bootcamps - do you know anyone who would be interested in applying? The deadline for applications is 9am on Tuesday 7th March 2017.
Click here to apply now.

We have lots of scholarships up for grabs - including specific places for the LGBTQ+ community. At least half of the places available on our next two Bootcamps will be scholarship funded, meaning that grassroot and community activists are able to come on our training for free and we are currently searching for more funding to fund an LGBTQ+ scholarship. The scholarship covers everything, including food and accommodation, and also a travel bursary to and from the venue if required.
I’m really trying to focus my outreach on LGBTQI+ campaigners because here at Bootcamp we believe those at the forefront of an issue are those best fitted to tackle it. In 2016, 30% of our graduates were LGBTQ+ and this is a number we hope to increase throughout 2017. If you know anyone who you think could benefit from this training, please do forward this email on. Can you help me spread the word about these scholarships by sharing this email in your networks?
As well as specific places allocated for people who identify as LGBTQ+, we also have scholarships available for:
- Environmental activists living in the UK.
- Women campaigning on poverty.
- Activists of colour in the UK.
- Anti-racism campaigners.
- ...and people fighting corporate power, disabled campaigners, feminist campaigners, people from socially deprived areas, working class activists, campaigners working on mental health issues and more!
Any questions, just hit reply or you can call me on 07501694626.
Thanks!

Dear Jean-Francois,
I hope you’re well.
Are you able to send this notice out to your network as it might be of interest to men looking to start a family. My client Families Through Surrogacy is a Not-For- Profit. It’s in the ‘What’s on’ Section of Boyz Magazine today. And Gay Star News will be running a story.
Interested in starting an LGBT family through surrogacy but don’t know how?
In the UK approximately 50% of those engaging in surrogacy are gay singles or gay couples.
Scott is UK/Australian, his husband is Bavarian. Their son Charlie was born via US surrogacy. They got to know their surrogate, egg donor and husbands well and will stay in touch as Charlie grows up. They were granted parental orders in January.
Adam is a business change management consultant. He and partner Christopher are creating their family using an increasing popular hybrid model – a surrogate in Canada, with the IVF occurring in the US.
Neil and Andrew live in Northern Ireland, have been together nine years and work in banking and travel respectively. They looked at many options before meeting a UK surrogate through an online forum in April 2015. Their son was born in November 2016 via gestational independent surrogacy after four years of planning.
These are a few of half a dozen couples who will share their experiences at Families Through Surrogacy’s fourth annual UK conference at 155 Bishopsgate, Liverpool St on 11 March 2017. It’s an event which puts parents and surrogates front and centre, sharing honest appraisals and real-life journeys.
It also allows prospective parents to hear about the latest developments from surrogacy experts from around the globe.
“We are seeing a rise in gay couples accessing surrogacy in the UK,” said Sam Everingham, parent of two girls born through surrogacy and Founder of Families Through Surrogacy. ”But there remain many who prefer to be able to compensate their surrogate which isn’t allowed in the UK, so engage overseas, or who just can’t locate a surrogate at home. For them, the decisions are getting harder as certain countries have chosen to close their borders to intended parents and the legal hurdles are becoming more challenging.”
The annual conference brings together intended parents, to discuss how to engage safely and responsibly amidst this flux. Says Everingham. “The conference is a once-yearly chance to learn about surrogacy, and about how to minimise the chance of things falling over.”

Empowering Adoptive Families study
Hi,
My name Pedro Alexandre Costa, and I am researcher at Birkbeck, University of London and at ISPA-University Institute (Portugal). I am currently doing a comparative study about adoption in the UK and in Portugal in a collaboration with Dr Fiona Tasker who is also from Birkbeck (a leading expert in LGBT+ parented families:http://www.bbk.ac.uk/psychology/our-staff/fiona-tasker).
This study is about child and adolescent well-being in adoptive families, with the main purpose of evaluating how adoption, child’s pre-adoptive history, and family dynamics can best promote child and adolescent development and well-being. I started collecting data through an online survey in March, and I expect to close the survey by the end of this year.
I would like to ask for your support in contacting and recruiting LGBT+ parents who have adopted in the UK, which are currently underrepresented in our study. From the 190 parents who have completed the questionnaire, only 50 identify as LGBT+, and we would really like to collect a diverse array of experiences and of family arrangements and look at experiences of different groups in greater detail. If you would like more information, you can visit our website at http://pcos59.wixsite.com/empoweradoptfamilies.
Please do contact me if you need more information, and if you are willing to help us reach potential participants within the community. I am sending you attached our flyer and a small text we use to advertise the study.
With my best wishes,
Pedro Alexandre Costa

*Group Invitation to Cambridge University Survey on Gender Minority Adults (win up to £100)*
Hello!
We hope this email finds you well.
We are researchers at the Gender Development Research Centre, the University of Cambridge. We are now recruiting gender minority adults and cisgender adults (aged 18 years or above) to participate in an online survey looking at social adjustment and psychological well-being of gender minorities. We hope to learn more about similarities and differences between different groups and how things can be improved for gender minorities. This survey will take at least 20 minutes and all participants will be entered into a prize draw.
In our survey, gender minorities are broadly defined as individuals whose gender identity and/or expression do not conform to the norms for the individuals’ sex/gender assigned at birth (e.g., individuals with gender dysphoria, transgender individuals, agender individuals, individuals with non-binary gender identities, and etc). Cisgenders refer to individuals whose gender identity matches the sex they were assigned at birth.
As part of the recruitment, we are contacting directors and/or administrative officers of societies/groups/organisations offering support and services to gender minority adults. We would be very grateful, if you could kindly consider helping us to circulate the survey web link below via mailing lists, social media, and other ways that you see fit. Potential participants will find more information about the online survey by clicking at the web link.
If you need further information or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Your help would be highly appreciated! Please let us know what you think.

GPN: subscriptions, events and feedback asked.
Dear Members,
Please join us on Wednesday 8th in Soho for our FREE Social event. RSVP on www.eventbrite.com/e/lgbt-social-evening-tickets-22102791043
Our Networking event is on the 16th March and please register on www.eventbrite.com/e/gpn-registration-32289004281. There is still time to grab the half price, early bird tickets for only £10, including wine till it runs out...
I am also looking at other events and would like your feedback, if we were to go to more corporate events, the events would cost about £70+VAT pp but would include everything. These could be reception or lunch or dinner in prestigious venues. Is this something that most people would be happy with? GPN will still continue to organise the very reasonably priced events at a maximum of £20 but this will be something for everyone. Please do get in touch.
Also I would like to remind our members that GPN is a membership organisation and that membership can be paid by direct debit monthly or yearly on www.gpn.one/online%20payment.html.
You do get many invites for this to all of our events and other organisations that we are affiliated to. Please check www.gpn.one/otherlinks.html & www.gaypronet.blogspot.co.uk/ for more details.
I very much look forward to hearing from and to seeing you soon at one of our events.
With best wishes,
Yours truly,
J-F.
