Mission Statement
At our core, we are committed to advocating for and empowering LGBTQ+ supporters and allies within the Blackburn Rovers community. Our mission is to cultivate an inclusive environment where everyone feels seen, heard, valued, and supported. We work towards achieving this mission by actively promoting visibility of LGBTQ+ individuals in our local, national, and international communities.
