It's terribly insulting to suggest that a mental health workshop is the appropriate solution for dealing with the burden of a low salary.

HUGE WIN! Lesbians, bi women and trans people will no longer face additional barriers to accessing IVF, following our #IVFforAll campaign. This wouldn't have been possible without the help of our supporters, who campaigned alongside us for this change 🫶🌈
ALT Nancy Kelley, CEO at Stonewall, (she/her) said: 'We are delighted that the UK Government has listened to our call for fair and equal access to IVF treatment. For years, lesbians, bi women and trans people have been forced to pay for up to £25,000 of private healthcare before they can access IVF on the NHS, or face giving up their dream of becoming parents. 'This is a giant step towards a world where LGBTQ+ people have the same opportunity as everyone else to build a loving, thriving family of their own.’
