Bi+ Ireland welcomes review of the RSE curriculum

3/4/2018

We at Bi+ Ireland welcome the news that Minister Bruton has called for a review of the RSE (relationships and sexuality education) curriculum, has identified consent as a priority, and also that LGBTQ+ issues will be addressed.

The current curriculum is sorely lacking in both of these regards, which is failing the young people of this country. We look forward eagerly to learning of what improvements will be made.

[Donations] Bi+ Ireland can now accept donations!

Bi+ Ireland is a 100% volunteer ran organisation, with our coordinatiors volunteering our spare time and even some of their own funds to help make our work possible.

So far we've been managing from our own pockets, but as we continue to grow from strength to strength, we can no longer afford to do so. We're so excited to run more regular meetups and put our new logo on our banner and haul it around the country to every lovely pride and LGBT event we can, but in order to do so we need your help.

We are now accepting donations to help make our work possible. We take donations from those who can afford to via selling badges and having small collections at meetups, but we’ve now also set up a PayPal!

If you can, please consider a donation to help us make this all possible

Transparency

We will be tracking our spending within excel sheets, which are available to view upon request - in our commitment to be transparent with our spending.

Our costs and spending

We are looking for funds to help us with hiring venues for events, other event organisation costs, creating branded materials for prides and LGBT+ event, website maintenance, and on events to build awareness for our organisation,

To follow our commitment for radical inclusivity, we also want to have a portion of our budget to be available to cover costs to accommodate marginalized folks at our events - be that travels costs, a food budget, or hiring more accessible venue spaces.

Donations are non-compulsory for our members, and we appreciate every euro that is donated our way - and we aim to spend it as responsibly as possible.
