This is the information that we have been sending outr and we'd really appreciate if the Mayor were able to say a few words – ideally at the start of the session – a welcome and acknowledgement that the Town Council has signed up to the Covenant and a few actions maybe – we can discuss this of course. He is, of course welcome to stay for as long as he'd like.

SAND would like to thank you for your support, friendship and commitment over the years by inviting you to our final conference
Small Steps Big Difference 2024
Tuesday 15th October
9.30am – 4.30pm
at Shrewsbury Town Football Stadium, Oteley Rd, Shrewsbury SY2 6ST
Places are limited, please RSVP james@lgbtsand.com
We hope that you will be able to join us in this celebration where we will share what we have been doing over the past 13 years and illustrate how local organisations and health & social care providers are already taking forward the vision of Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin as a county, continually aiming to EMBRACE A Culture of Inclusion.
You can expect
• Short presentations on what is happening differently in organisations as a result of our work.
• A special presentation from Clare Summerskill who helped us at the launch of our very first local research back in 2015!
• Workshops on themes such as : encouraging collaboration; sharing good practice; feedback from our We All SAND Together sessions in conversation with older and old LGBT+ people.
• A chance to chat.
• Exhibitions
• Lunch, refreshments and, of course, nice cake!
To give you a flavour of the amazing work that has been happening across the county, you might be interested in the presentations from Small Steps Big Difference 2023 where a range of local service providers talked about the work they had been doing up to that point. https://www.lgbtsand.com/small-steps-big-difference/
