Costs of membership of Stonewall

The request was partially successful.

Dear Cheshire Constabulary,

I would like to know the amount of public funds that is being spent on the force being a member of the organisation known as Stonewall. I would like to have a full breakdown on costs of the different aspects of membership. For example how much is being spent on training, how much is being spent attending conferences and events.

I would also like to know how the decision was made to chose the services of this organisation over other service providers, for example was there a procurement process?

I would like to know how value for money is being established and are there any reports available on how this is being quantified.

Yours faithfully,
Anthony Griffin
