Over the last 30 years, Stonewall has helped create transformative change in the lives of LGBTQ+ people across communities in the UK. It has travelled a path from a world where LGBTQ+ relationships were criminalised to one where LGBTQ+ people have equal rights to love, marry or have children.

But more change is desperately needed for LGBTQ+ people. In every community in the UK, and around the world, LGBTQ+ people are still being abused, thrown out of their homes, and bullied in schools and workplaces. The institutions that should be protective – governments, communities, faith institutions, and families – too often stand silent or actively harm LGBTQ+ people.

I believe in the work that Stonewall does, so I've signed up to the Steps for Stonewall fundraising campaign, which means that I'll be walking at least 10,000 steps per day in March 2024 to raise money for the charity. I'll post updates as I go, and I hope that you'll be able to donate to the campaign. Every pound raised will help Stonewall fund important projects to ensure a world where all LGBTQ+ people are free to be themselves and can live their lives to the full.
