Guidelines for organising events and activities for marginalised groups

The guide attached below called ‘Guidelines for organising events and activities for marginalised groups’  is set in a context where it is increasingly important that services are relevant and appropriate for marginalised people. The foundation for any approach is to treat all people with respect and kindness. Beyond that, we need to optimise the chances that events and activities are successful (measured by being a positive, beneficial experience for all participants – organisers and guests).
Experience shows, that creating this environment does not ‘just happen’ – we have to think about what we are doing.
