STATEMENT FROM ENGLISH FOLK DANCE AND SONG SOCIETY

Everyone is welcome at Cecil Sharp House and to participate in the activities of the English Folk Dance and Song Society.

In light of the recent UK Supreme Court ruling on the legal definition of sex and gender, we want to express our support of and solidarity with our trans and non-binary communities. We believe that everyone is deserving of dignity and the power to identify as they wish to. We continue to welcome everyone to use the facilities that they are comfortable using, and we continue to offer a range of choices.

Inclusivity is an important part of the mission of the English Folk Dance and Song Society. With a culture of belonging, we value and celebrate diverse voices, promote equality in everything we do and actively welcome everyone to be involved in folk music and dance. We are proud to work with artists, practitioners and educators who represent and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community.

To all of our trans, non-binary and gender non-conforming visitors, staff, artists, practitioners, audiences and participants: you are welcome here; you are safe, respected and represented.

Folk is for Everyone.
