The new trustees are:

  • TV executive Eileen Gallagher OBE, Founder and former CEO of Shed Media Group which was responsible for Bad Girls and Footballers’ Wives;

  • Strategy consultant Conrad Roeber who was the primary author of IPSO’s recent report into the treatment of transgender-related issues by the UK press;

  • Kathleen Stock OBE who is Professor of Philosophy at Sussex University and author of recently published Material Girls;

  • Robert Wintemute, Professor of Human Rights Law at King’s College London and a signatory of the 2007 Yogyakarta Principles (but who is now critical of Principles 3 and 31)

  • Lord Young of Norwood Green, a Labour Party life peer who was former General Secretary of the National Communications Union and a former Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills and later at the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills.

Kate Harris told Lesbian and Gay News: “Our new trustees will help accelerate our plans to fill the void that has been left. In particular we need to offer services for young LGB people where there are none today.
