Our Reports

We recognise that existing health interventions for LGBTQ+ Black and People of Colour (BPoC) have long been designed, implemented and subsequently dominated by non-LGBTQ+ BPoC identities. 


As it currently stands, the lack of data may lead to the danger of LGBTQ+ BPoC being marginalised further within the wider community and/or worse, create harmful assumptions that we either do not exist, or that there is not a significant challenge within the healthcare industry.


Our latest resource tool 🌈InsideOUT🌈 amplifies the very voices of LGBTQ+ BPoC to understand barriers, residence and the needs of the community. This evidence base resource will be valuable in academic literature, as the new wave of researchers may also use new methods of recruiting samples and capturing data in marginalised populations.

Health Equity and Advocacy

Training (H.E.A.T.) Programme

Pilot Report

The Health Equity and Advocacy Programme (H.E.A.T.) is a cultural safety development tool for individuals engaging with LGBTQ+ Black and People of Colour across Health, Wellbeing and Equality in the UK. This programme was designed to improve understanding, discussion, and decolonisation of theories and practices that continue to feed the appetite of ill health and present a range of health disparities for LGBTQ+ Black and People of Colour (BPoC) in the widest definition of the phrase.


Outcomes captured from the rollout and delivery of the H.E.A.T. Programme pilot clearly demonstrate the impact of funded training initiatives that highlight the specific needs of racially and sexually minoritised individuals and address health inequalities impacting these communities.


Having engaged a range of voices, incorporating the recommendations and comments from participants will inform the programme’s direction as well as impact other projects and courses we may develop in future.

This National Coming Out Day was a particularly significant one for a few of us as we shared our personal coming out stories on our Black Beetle Health IG LIVE.  Sharing one’s coming out story can often feel very personal for some, yet liberating for others. Either way, for those who feel able, it can be a source of inspiration for others who may still be on a journey to self-acceptance or total openness with others. You maybe surprised to find out what our journeys have entailed.

In this mini-webinar, we brought together sexual health and wellbeing practitioners, academics, educators, activist and advocates to discuss the ins and outs of "Queer Sex & Pleasure". We did so to create a much needed conversational discourse around queer sex, yes, but more importantly PLEASURE. Are we making pleasure a natural part of the sexual health and wellbeing narrative? Are we ashamed to say, "Well, yes,...Sex is enjoyable!"? Are we cultivating a culture of openness and honesty when it comes to sex and pleasure in all aspects of the queer community? How does this shame factor affect health outcomes for LGBTQ+ People of Colour? Let's discuss.
