🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ Today we stand for love, dignity, and inclusion.
Everyone deserves to live authentically and without fear.
United Way Peterborough & District remains committed to fostering inclusion, advancing equity, and supporting initiatives that uplift 2SLGBTQI+ communities across our region.
Last week, nearly 60 community members came together at our Solutions Summit to share ideas, build connections, and help shape the future of Reconciliation, Equity, Accessibility, Diversity, and Inclusion (READI) work across Peterborough City & County.
The conversations were thoughtful, honest, and inspiring, and we know there are still more voices to hear.
We’re now inviting the broader community to help inform how up to $300,000 through our new Priority Issues Fund will be invested over the next 18 months. Whether you attended the Summit or not, we want your insight.
📝 Complete the Priority Issues Fund Survey before Tuesday, May 19 at 10:00 a.m. and help shape this work moving forward.
