Webinar: Family and Allyship in our LGBTQ+ Community
On 6th June 2024, representatives from Knight Frank, Savills, CBRE and The Proud Trust shared their unique experiences of supporting LGBTQ+ families and creating inclusive spaces for the LGBTQ+ community, in a webinar: Family and Allyship in our LGBTQ+ Community.
Each had a unique take on the allyship they've practiced as part of this. Their insights are valuable for others looking to replicate this allyship and create more inclusive spaces for the LGBTQ+ community.
