I have lived in Derby for about 11 years. During that time I have worked at various LGBT venues and been involved in many community events and met a lot of people!!

I have been the Chair of Derby Pride for the past few years organising and delivering very successful Pride festivals and events leading up to the annual event.

Before moving to Derby I was heavily involved in youth and community work on various projects and schemes at different levels e.g. researching, training, educating and supporting within my local community!

I'm really pleased to be on the board of Derbyshire LGBT+ so that I can bring my 30+ years of experience of working in the voluntary sector to an organisation and a cause I'm passionate about.  

My background is in leadership within the voluntary sector with around 20 years as CEO. I am now enjoying a career in consultancy and self employment. I have been a volunteer in many different roles since the age of 16 and I love it! Volunteering as a board member gives me the opportunity to do something I love (volunteer) as well as bringing the skills and experience I have to support the organisation to achieve and succeed. 

I am a retired NHS manager and ACAS trained workplace mediator. I have lived and worked in Derby for over 20 years & have two grown up daughters and two grandchildren.

I have volunteered with D+ for a long time starting out as a volunteer on the Switchboard that we operated. I attended Management meetings as the representative of the Men's Group. Since then, I have been a Trustee for a number of years.

I have been able to bring my years of management, counselling, mediation and equalities work to the Board and it is a pleasure to work with the Team on building a quality service serving the LGBT+ community.

Hi, I'm Morgan, and I’m currently one of the trustees at Derbyshire LGBT+. I’ve also served as a trustee at Derby Pride for the past four years, where I hold the role of secretary.

   Having grown up in Swadlincote, I’ve always had a strong connection to my local community, and volunteering has become a central part of my life.  

   Supporting inclusive, community-led initiatives through both Derby Pride and now Derbyshire LGBT+ has been incredibly rewarding, allowing me to contribute to causes I care deeply about while helping to create safer, more welcoming spaces for everyone.

   Professionally, I work in compliance, covering Health & Safety, Data Protection, Information Security, and Environmental standards.

   I hope the skills I’ve developed in my career and through my work with Derby Pride will enable me to make a meaningful, positive contribution to Derbyshire LGBT+
