Projects
At The Gaydio Academy, we deliver training and support for people in our community, helping them learn new skills, meet like-minded friends, and become more confident and employable.
After training, participants collaborate on content promoting the work of partner organisations and local support services, as well as creating podcasts, joining our News Team, gaining work experience or long-term volunteering.
