Out for Sport (OFS) started its first ever Strategic Planning Offsite meeting in the beginning of September. Bringing together LGBT sport, physical activity and dance groups across London and Britain; OFS is looking to review the needs of its membership and build a sustainable strategy for the future.
OFS believes that the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games will be a catalyst for change within the UK. OFS, inspired by the London Games, seeks to bring together the different views of its member organisations to speak with a unified voice to engage in the planning, delivery and legacy of the 2012 Games.
OFS will use this once in a lifetime opportunity to consolidate its position as a major voice in LGBT sports across the UK. OFS is seeking to raise awareness of discrimination in sport and support the development of diversity at all levels, leading to an overall change in perception of LGBT sports and a move towards full acceptance of LGBT figures within mainstream sport.
