Reading’s Local LGBT+ Heritage – The Wolfenden Report
The Wolfenden 60 project was funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund in 2017 and marked the 60th anniversary of the publication of the Wolfenden Report and the 50th year since the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality. This project aimed to provide a video of the legacy of Wolfenden’s work, which is available here, https://youtu.be/9_cNkinueKw.
The project also created some fantastic educational resources, including a seven-part resource pack to be used in the classroom. It holds single or multiple lesson plans and includes advice for the delivery of queer history. Please find this here: Wolfenden 60
