Tabby Besley is the founder and Managing Director of InsideOUT. She has been volunteering and working in rainbow communities since she was 15 when she led her high-school queer straight alliance, and is passionate about every young person feeling safe at school, as is their human right. In 2015 Tabby’s work was recognised internationally, as she became the first and only New Zealander to receive a Queen’s Young Leader Award. Since then she has received a number of accolades for her work with InsideOUT, most recently seeing her become a 2020 finalist for Young New Zealander of the Year.
