Haringey's LGBTQIA+ Community Network
Haringey's LGBTQIA+ Community Network brings residents and organisations together to develop community-led initiatives, events, and meetings.
We seek to celebrate the borough's LGBTQIA+ community and address or raise awareness of issues affecting us. Our aim is to make Haringey the best place it can be for LGBTQIA+ people by challenging discrimination and influencing change.
Membership includes residents and representatives of LGBTQIA+ and non-specialist community organisations, secondary schools, Haringey Council, and the Met Police. The network is facilitated by the Voluntary and Community Sector support team at Haringey Council.
