Christian social worker Felix Ngole has asked the Court of Appeal to rule that he was unlawfully discriminated against after a mental health charity withdrew a job offer because of his Christian beliefs about marriage and sexuality.

The court heard his appeal on 28 and 29 September, following a legal dispute with Touchstone Leeds, which began in 2022. A written judgment is awaited.

Ngole had been offered a position as a hospital discharge mental health support worker after being assessed as the best candidate.
