Testimonials

Here's what other people who have taken part in our courses had to say...

"It has increased my confidence vastly. I feel I would never have progressed in my day job if it wasn’t for the skills and confidence the Gaydio Academy has given me."
"I got involved just as I came out as trans and this helped me feel more connected to the LGBT+ community. Gaydio has a real family feel to it and I feel more confident in being authentic."
"The Gaydio Academy has allowed me to interact with different members of the LGBT community that I normally wouldn’t. It has also helped me to learn and understand more about that community and make new friends"
