Eastern Angles strives to put extraordinary effort and emphasis on making people feel welcome.
In the light of the recent Supreme Court ruling on the legal definitions of sex and gender under the Equality Act 2010, we want to repeat our commitment to being an organisation welcome to all.
To our trans, non-binary and gender non-conforming visitors, staff, volunteers, artists and participants: you are welcome here. Whether you visit us at the Eastern Angles Centre or out on tour, you are welcome.
We understand that the ruling has raised concerns and anxiety. Below is a list of regional and national resources to go to for support:
