Dumfries and Galloway Equalities Partnership

The Dumfries and Galloway Equalities Partnership (DGEP) was established in July 2017 by four local organisations: DG Voice, D&G Multicultural Association, D&G LGBT Plus and LGBT Youth Scotland.

The Partnership enables these organisations to work together towards a shared vision of Dumfries and Galloway as a region where diversity is respected and celebrated and everyone feels safe and included.
