School raising money for Stonewall

I’m now going to have to become that parent. After a balanced/sensible approach to LBTQ+ issues at school and PSHE I’m now faced with school wanting to fundraise for stonewall during pride month. My daughter (who educates her peers in the difference between sex and gender - proud Mum alert) is willing to go and talk to her head of year about it and suggest that this is not an appropriate charity.

Please can anyone give me ideas for suitable alternatives for a charity they could support and published reasons (eg newspaper articles) which explain simply why this is not a charity they want to align themselves too. She is looking to develop a coherent argument and because of family circumstances I don’t have time to trawl through all the posts on here.

Thank you for your help.

To be fair my very woke daughter was just saying today that stonewall is now seen as transphobic so the organisation won't be liked by either side

They misrepresented the law and organisations are disassociating from then at a rate of knots. The Jewish community are demanding an apology for likening gender critical beliefs to anti Semitism

I’d suggest the Albert Kennedy trust - LGBT homeless youths

Stonewall has campaigned to remove single sex spaces since 2015.

How does that work with the OFSTED report on sexual harassment now being 'normalised' in schools?

As SW base being trans on stereotypes that would conflict with the govt guidelines and they are closely linked with Mermaids who say kids are born in the wrong body.

With that and the idea that lesbians should accept male partners I think the LGB Alliance would be a good alternative for Pride month as they campaign for the rights of same-sex attracted people and bisexual people and Stonewall want their charity status removed alongside Mermaids (though they removed their name there are screenshots.)

Stonewall also think that those with the now protected 'belief' in biological sex are anti-semites.
