Jenny Roberts is a writer of Lesbian detective novels, and also well known as the original founder of the Libertas Lesbian bookshop in York. On Friday February 9th she gave a reading of some of her work at Manchester Central Library and explained how her trans background has contributed towards the store of experience she draws upon in her work. Afterwards Jenny agreed to make a series of recordings, reading and discussing more of her books, so that we could help extend her contribution to LGBT History month to a wider audience and more than a single performance.

Over the course of a full day’s proceedings each of the various work stream chairs normally present details of what their team has been working on during the year. Senior civil servants also discuss their work and inclusion aims too.
