Ben explores the evolution of LGBT rights within the UK, fear of the unknown and how talking about sexual orientation can save lives. Ben has worked in the Third Sector for 5 years, climbing up to a Fundraising Manager position at Cancer Research UK and now looking to put his experience, drive and dynamic personality to inspiring social change with his own charitable project – Enlighten UK. An obvious drama graduate, Ben won't let his fire for developments in equality dim – focusing on challenges surrounding the LGBTQ+ community, gender, race and religion in the education system. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
