Concerned that people did not believe the Church to be welcoming towards the LGBT community, Jayne raised funds to conduct another YouGov poll in October 2016.

The results, communicated in a press release, clearly showed that less than half of British adults believed that the Church of England was there for everyone, and less than a third of UK adults believing that UK churches were welcoming to the LGBT community.

These were summarised in a one-page handout.

The results received some media interest:
