Berkshire Anti Homophobia Group
The Berkshire Anti-Homophobia Group (BAHG) has produced a Resource Directory and Guide for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered (LGBT) victims of crime and harassment. The directory is targeted at organisations working with LGBT potential victims of crime. It can be used to guide those involved in addressing homophobic crime consequences. The guide can be downloaded from the BAHG homepage or ordered from: BAHG, PO Box 3699, Bracknell, RG42 1HN.
The Berkshire Anti-Homophobia Group was established in March 1998 by members of the local lesbian, gay and bisexual community, with the directory launched upon 1st July 2003.
The aims and objectives of this group are:

To develop effective support networks for the victims of homophobia and homophobic crime
To promote appropriate and sensitive policies, procedures and training packages for the police and other agencies around issues of sexuality

The publication of the Resource Directory has been made possible by Berkshire Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships providing grants and support.
