About us

The Peter Tatchell Foundation (PTF) seeks to promote and protect the human rights of individuals, communities and nations, in the UK and internationally, in accordance with established national and international human rights law.

The aims and objectives of the PTF are awareness, understanding, protection and implementation of human rights, in the UK and worldwide. This involves research, education, advice, casework, publicity, lobbying and campaigning for the enforcement and furtherance of humanitarian statutes and values.

The human rights aims and objectives of the PTF are charitable and with a public benefit. We are currently seeking charitable status.

I met him when I was 19 and just coming out. He was under fire as gay teacher (not at my school). I couldn't get enough of his replies to his adversaries. Just such a masterful speaker and quicker of wit than I have ever achieved.

It's wonderful to see him still going strong.
