Alex Charilaou (they/them) Alex is Co-Chair of Labour for Trans Rights and has been a trans rights activist within the Labour Party since 2020. They were also the National Labour Students Trans Officer for two years. They are also a Non-Portfolio Officer for Pride in Labour.
Cllr. Georgia Meadows (she/her) Georgia is the Trans Officer for LGBT+ Labour and has stood up for the rights of trans people, despite the lack of action by the committee more generally.

She has also advocated for neurodiverse people and care leavers, groups she is also a part of.
Cllr. Kaz Self (she/her) Kaz is the first trans woman elected as councillor in Bristol. She is a passionate advocate for equity, diversity, and inclusion (DEI). She was involved in a local trans pride for five years and helped organise Bristol’s first trans rights protest. She has campaigned for improved trans healthcare, noting that waiting times to get a GIC in the South West are amongst the worst in the country.
Avery Greatorex (she/her) As a student activist and an officer for the University of Lancashire Students’ Union, Avery has made a push to ban conversion therapy a priority within the student movement, solidifying trans rights as a key fight for the National Union of Students. As Co-Chair of Pride in Labour, she has strengthened grassroots activism, trade union ties, and regional networks to ensure it remains a powerful voice for LGBTQ+ members.
Jamie Strudwick (he/him) Jamie is the founder and co-chair of Pride in Labour and has been involved in activism on and off for ten years. He started advocating for young people’s mental health before getting involved in LGBTQ+ activism in 2023. In July 2024, he set up Pride in Labour in response to ongoing transphobia within Labour. His professional experience is in the health and social care sector, working for both the NHS and as a senior care worker.
Introducing the panel for our conference fringe event
Statement Regarding Co-Chair Jamie Strudwick Pride in Labour can confirm that Jamie Strudwick, founder and Co-Chair of the organisation, has taken the personal decision to resign his membership of the Labour Party. Jamie will continue to serve as Co-Chair until the organisation’s next AGM, scheduled for February 2026. This decision has been made to honour his elected mandate and to ensure continued leadership, organisational stability, and a smooth transition for the next leadership team. Jamie’s decision reflects his own political journey and does not change the values or aims of Pride in Labour as an independent network committed to LGBTQ+ rights, solidarity, and equality. As ever, Pride in Labour remains focused on amplifying LGBTQ+ voices, and building a more inclusive and just future for all.
LGBT+ Labour isn't working.
