How can we make sports Clubs, Teams and Organisation more inclusive to members of the LGBTI+ community?
Sport is a powerful tool for social development, improving the well-being of every individual in society so that they can reach their full potential. Success of a community is linked to each and every person's well-being, and sport and physical activity promotes health (physical and mental) and education, fosters cognitive development, teaches social behaviour, and helps social cohesion. Unfortunately, members of the LGBTI+ community can face barriers to participation due to bullying, homophobic language, inadequate dressing rooms, etc.
TRUST Ireland will work with the LGBTI+ community to promote positive cultural change. Using TRUST tools and resources, we aim to create LGBTI+ inclusive sports environments. We will identify and remove barriers to participation and facilitate creating an environment where LGBTI+ people will not face discrimination or harassment.
