A very easy way to help us is simply to follow, like, and share our social media content in order to show your support for LGBTQ+ inclusivity in motorsport and for our vision.
We are also very keen to hear from those within and outside of the motorsport industry who are able to help us to achieve our aims.
As well as expanding our growing family of industry partners, we are seeking Ally Companies to finance promotion and visibility, to support the careers of the Driver Ambassadors in order to create some desperately needed role-models for aspiring LGBTQ+ participants in motorsport, and to hold events such as panel discussions, media briefings, and networking occasions.
