The LGBT+ Ally Programme at University of Galway is a member based initiative working towards increasing the knowledge, awareness, and support of LGBT+ colleagues and students. In partnership with individuals and Schools/Units within University of Galway and in the wider community, the LGBT+ Ally Programme aims to create a safe and inclusive environment for staff and students of all sexual identities and genders at University of Galway and to advocate for a culture of equality, diversity, and inclusion.

The LGBT+ Ally Programme initiative is led by the Office of the Vice President for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion at University of Galway. The LGBT+ Ally Programme is open to all University of Galway staff members who support its vision and mission.
