Stonewall, the LGB equality charity, won five awards at the annual Out in the City and g3 Magazine Readers’ Awards, which took place in London on Friday, April 26.

The star-studded ceremony, hosted by actor Sophie Ward and Coronation Street Star Charlie Condou, saw Out in the City and g3 readers vote Stonewall as Charity of the Year, while Stonewall’s Chief Executive Ben Summerskill won the Out in the City’s Campaigner of the Year Award and Deputy Chief Executive Laura Doughty won the g3 Campaigner of the Year Award.

The charity’s iconic ‘Some People Are Gay. Get Over It’ campaign, which ran on buses across Britain last year, won Out in the City’s Marketing Campaign of the Year award.

Ben Summerskill, who accepted Stonewall’s award as Charity of the Year, said:

“Stonewall is a remarkable constellation of dozens of brilliant staff, hundreds of incredible volunteers and tens of thousands of dogged supporters. They have made Stonewall what it is.”
