Stonewall works to achieve legal equality and social justice for lesbians, gay men and bisexual people.

They do this in a number of different ways:

• Policy development
  Carrying out research, publishing briefings and working with Government, business, NGOs and policy institutions to develop ideas and policy that remove discrimination and makes the lives of lesbians, gay men and bisexual people better.
  
  
• Cultural and attitudinal change
  Challenging the underlying cultural and attitudinal values that allow discrimination to flourish. Changing cultures and attitudes to positively value diversity.
  
  
• Lobbying for legal change
  Campaigning to ensure that legislation is non-discriminatory and that the diversity and value of LGB life is appropriately recognised in our own laws.
  
  
• Providing information
  Well-informed individuals and institutions are better able to recognise how rights and responsibilities should be exercised.
  
  
• Community support and capacity building
  Helping communities to build supportive infrastructures and acquire useful skills and expertise, through community development, financial awards and encouraging active citizenship among LGB people.
  
  
• Good practice design and advice
  Working on a range of issues from homophobic bullying to employment practice and pension provision to disseminate and promote good practice.
