Happy to share the news that YOUR MCR collaborator GLITTERBEAM has been nominated for these prestigious awards later this year.
The award ceremony, which is sponsored by The Bank of London, is due to take place at the world-famous Natural History Museum in London on May 17.
The event will highlight many of the incredible people and organisations who are dedicated to supporting the LGBT+ community, placing a focus on promoting diversity in everyday life.

We are really looking forward to this experience and we are very grateful to whoever has voted for GlitterBeam.”
