Hazlehead Academy becomes Aberdeen's first school to be awarded the LGBT Charter


Exciting developments are underway as schools and organisations across Scotland embrace the LGBT Charter, a transformative initiative by LGBT Youth Scotland designed to foster inclusive environments for LGBTI individuals. The charter ensures that every aspect of an organisation or school is welcoming and supportive to students, clients, and service users, enhancing the quality of services provided.

A shining example of this commitment in action took place during LGBT History Month, as pupils from Hazlehead Academy collaborated with the team at Outlines Collective. Together, they embarked on a vibrant project that culminated in a stunning mural.

Local artists Kirsty Lawie, Naomi Christie, and the students themselves poured their creativity and dedication into designing and painting the mural. This artwork not only brightens the school walls but also stands as a testament to Hazlehead's dedication to creative positivity and proactive inclusion.

This mural symbolises more than just aesthetic enhancement; it represents a step forward in making educational spaces more accepting and supportive. Through such initiatives, the LGBT Charter is helping to weave inclusivity into the fabric of Scottish educational and service institutions, promising a more welcoming future for all.Exciting developments are underway as schools and organisations across Scotland embrace the LGBT Charter, a transformative initiative by LGBT Youth Scotland to foster inclusive environments for LGBTI individuals.
