I wonder if this is one of the reasons why some government depts are pulling out.,

Thanks for sharing this. I’m outraged and shall be sharing it with my children’s school as well.

How many refuges or hostels could they have funded with that money? How many therapists could they have trained to work with children?

I know it’s not a massive amount (in comparison to other things they waste money on - London Garden bridge anyone) but for the love of god...

That money is in addition to fees for membership etc. - just grants:

In an analysis of the charity’s accounts, the TaxPayers’ Alliance calculated that the government gave Stonewall at least £2,616,102 between 2015 and 2019. That was in addition to funds raised through other schemes in which employers, including 250 government departments and public bodies, pay subscriptions to be endorsed as an LGBT-friendly workplace.

Interesting. Does anyone know if there a set fee for the Diversity Champions scheme or does it depend on organisation size?

And this is ON TOP of what we pay for all those government departments, police forces, schools etc to receive Stonewall homophobic, sexist indoctrination training!

@PennineSpring

Another cracking article from the Times. I do hope they start investigating the dodgy/unlawful trans inclusion policies in sports next.
Yep. That. I also want to read that Stonewall is officially outlawed from schools. I've been bombarding my Son's school with all the recent reports which have completely discredited Stonewall. I cannot wait for them to be forced to cancel membership so I can say "I told you so" then I'm Going to demand an enquiry as to why the governors and the school solicitors "waived" membership through despite all the damning info available. I've been holding onto my anger with them for good reason.
