Living Options work in partnership with many organisations to diversity work to include:

Devon Race Equality Council: www.devonrec.org

The Devon Racial Equality Council (Devon REC) gives service providers help in identifying how they must take account of their obligations and provides locally relevant advice on how to do this, based on its research and case-work experience. The Devon REC uses its specialist knowledge and its ability to understand the needs of both users and providers, to enable organisations to develop their own capacity to adapt to and adopt the principles of Race Equality. DREC promotes and monitors equal opportunities in employment (both in public and private sectors) and service delivery.

Fata He: www.fatahe.com

FATA HE is a West African word which means ‘Inclusion’ and was established in 2001 to redress social and economic inequalities relating to Black and Minority Ethnic (B&ME) individuals, families and groups within the city of Plymouth. Since becoming incorporated as a Limited Company (Social Enterprise) in 2003, Fata He has become an umbrella organisation for other B&ME individuals and groups, and works closely with other local, sub-regional and regional organisations.

Intercom Trust: www.intercomtrust.org.uk

The Intercom Trust is a voluntary community organisation, run by, and for lesbians, gay men, bisexual women and men, trans people of all genders and orientations. Intercom works across the South West Peninsula - Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset -and is a registered charity. It was set up by local LGB people in 1997 and chose the name intercom (short for 'intercommunication') because we hope to help make links between isolated and vulnerable LGB people and the wider community of the rural South West in which we all live.
