LGBTQIA+ Support
We want everyone at Hartpury to feel like they can comfortably and openly be themselves anywhere on campus. As a Students' Union, we want to ensure all students, no matter their sexuality or gender identity, have access to the same opportunities and experiences during their time at Hartpury and beyond.
We believe performing at your best requires feeling valued for your skills, as well as, feeling welcome in any study or workplace. By running campaigns through the year and collaborating with companies we hope aim to create an environment where any individual can thrive.
​
If you're in need of support or just a place to meet friends, have a look through the resources below or feel free to reach out through the SU email.
