Actually Gay Men’s Chorus and Actually Gay Women’s Chorus are teaming up with anti LGBT bullying champion and homophobic bullying survivor Shaun Dellenty to raise money for Inclusion For All (IFA).
IFA is an award winning training strategy working to prevent homophobic,biphobic and transphobic bullying and language in schools across the UK.
Through joint fund raising endeavors over the next twelve months, money gathered by Shaun and both Choruses will support ongoing work, helping to reduce negative damage to the lives of countless children and making schools safe places for all children.
Shaun Dellenty, already an ward winner for his anti-bullying work in schools, has also been nominated Positive LGBT Role Model in the National Diversity Awards 2014 and the Excellence In Diversity Awards 2015. In both 2012 and 2013 Shaun featured on the Independent On Sunday Pink List of 101 most influential LGBT people in the UK.
Shaun, who is very excited to be working with the Choruses this year, said: “Through the privilege of working with the choruses I hope to draw attention to an issue which continues to damage the lives of so many young people in our education system. The vast majority of schools lack the training to be able to make children safe from bullying related to sexual orientation and gender; the funds kindly being raised by Actually will enable IFA to provide vital teacher training across the UK. I am extremely grateful for this partnership, Actually!”
The partnership kicks off at the Actually Gay Men’s Chorus Pride performances of I Feel Love on Friday 18 and Saturday, July 19 with Shaun addressing the audience on the Friday evening. Shaun will also be available after the performance to chat about the important work which he does.
