Avon and Somerset Constabulary is currently a member of the Stonewall Diversity Scheme and has been since March 2015.
A total of £2,500 each financial year (2015/16, 2016/17, 2017/18, 2018/19, 2019/20) has been spent on subscription fees to Stonewall.
A renewal review of this membership will take place in October 2021, therefore as of the date of your request we are unable to provide you with an answer to question four of your request.
In answer to question five, we have also recorded £5,500 +vat paid for Stonewall Allies Training in January 2020 in addition to the yearly subscription fees above
