Get involved in the push for equal
rights
The Lobby is a volunteer-based community organisation
whose goal is to achieve legal equality and social justice for lesbians
and gay men. It relies on the hard work and support of people like you.
There are 4 ways you can get involved (or a combination
of the 4):
Does freedom sound like a good investment to you? We work throughout
the year on projects that help to address social and legal discrimination
against lesbians and gay men. The donations received from Supporters allow
the Lobby to focus less on fundraising activities and more on the actual
work of lobbying for equal rights.
By choosing to donate today, you are actively helping our community
to reach for what is rightfully ours.

to help out. Volunteers are required throughout the year - from helping
for a couple of hours at specific events to working on longer-term projects.
Volunteers with specific skills or interests may also want to get involved
in a range of ongoing working groups including IT/Website, Media, Fundraising
& Events and Finance & Accounting.
