SATF 2022: 

A GROWING COLLABORATIVE SUCCESS 


Our yearly campaign supporting the 5% of shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe made for, by or about the LGBTQ+ community goes from strength to strength. Our 2019 campaign built on the success of 2018, with a fantastic team of volunteer interviewers and reviewers.  In 2020, through our funded PhD internship with the University of Glasgow, we carried out a Community Consultation survey to build a more inclusive LGBTQ+ Fringe for 2021 and beyond.  The legacy of this work is a new Strategic Partnership with the Fringe Society for 2021-2022 and beyond.
