Ashley is the founder and Director of QUEERCIRCLE, a charity working at the intersection of arts, health and social action. We believe in the radical potential of the arts for individual, collective and societal transformation. We are both a platform championing LGBTQ+ artists, and an ecology of individuals and organisations committed to creating systems of holistic support for LGBTQ+ people. Previously, their debut feature length documentary “Are You Proud?” was named “one of the most important LGBTQ+ films of the year.” (The Independent) and listed in The Guardian’s “Top Ten Documentaries of 2019” and has since been entered into the British Film Institutes permanent collection. In partnership with LGBTQ+ education charity, Educate & Celebrate, “Are You Proud?” was developed into learning resources for KS3, 4 & 5 and made available to schools across the U.K.
