Groups
Register for personalised updates from our regional and national teams, and our inclusion programmes.
Civil Service LGBT+ Network ‘Groups’ are email distribution lists run by people in our local organiser team and programme teams. They are separate from our email alerts which you can sign up to on our website. Unlike our email alerts, Groups are a bit less formal and a bit more personal.
This page lists the groups that are available, and explains how to subscribe and unsubscribe to each.
