The Brighton and Hove Rainbow Run

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Help us make sport more inclusive!

We’ve teamed up with Dr Alex Baird from the University of Bedfordshire to carry out some important research into the inclusion and experiences of trans and q***r people in sport.

If you have just 5 minutes to spare, we’d really appreciate you completing our questionnaire. Your experiences and views can help support research into how we can make sport more inclusive and welcoming for everyone.
