Join us on Wednesday 13th November from 12 pm as we walk through the gorgeous Heaton Park.

Pop along for some fresh air and a chat. Don’t worry about the pace you walk at, it’s more about being out in nature together.

In a world that often tries to erase or marginalise our identities, nurturing queer joy becomes an act of resistance and self-care.  

So, let’s hold onto our joy fiercely and share it with one another by create spaces where all queer voices can thrive.

Are you looking for deeper connections in your life but not sure where to begin? We’ve got you!

You are warmly invited to our three-part talk series where we explore what it means to create deep connections in our life. We explore useful tools and tips that support you in demystifying your relationship to yourself, to others and to the world around you through nervous system regulation, communication exercises and embodiment practices. Come along to one, two, or all three of these FREE talks and discover more about yourself. 

Talk 3 – Connection to community and our world

Only one last chance to get involved with ‘The Connection Series’ – a collection of interactive talks exploring your relationship with self, others and the community, for LGBTQ+ adults. Don’t miss out on this final talk from our amazing facilitators Aj and Ria! No problem if you haven’t come to the previous talks – get involved in our final talk ‘Connection to Community and the World We Live In’

What would it mean to find your community or ‘tribe’? How would this support you in navigating your place in the world? Learn practical and transformative practices that facilitate a deeper connection to both your immediate community and the larger world around you.

November’s activity to be announced soon…

To ensure our space is welcoming and inclusive, we require everyone to follow our Safer Spaces Policy. This group is for trans women, trans fems, trans feminine people, and any non-binary people wishing to access a trans women centred space. You must be aged 18+ to attend.

SMART Recovery is a self-management cognitive behavioural therapy recovery program, where you can work with peers in a safe space to learn how to use simple tools to look at motivation, cravings, urges and relapse prevention.

SMART tools can help you manage your addictive behaviours and also be used universally in your day-to-day life.

This group takes place every Thursday 6pm-7:30pm.

This is a hybrid group with the option to join us in person at our Fairbairn House base or join via Zoom.

A mutual aid support group for LGBT+ people to share their experiences with each other in a safe space and a friendly atmosphere. Whether you’re right at the beginning of your journey or you’re wanting to maintain your goals in your recovery, here and now is a place for everybody to come together. The meetings are held every Tuesday at the new LGBT Foundation space: 2nd Floor Fairburn House, Sackville Street, M1 3NJ.

Our spaces are for all self-identifying queer people who have experience of addictive behaviour, or have questions about substance use. This is inclusive of people of colour, trans, non-binary and gender fluid people, and disabled persons. Our service is for those aged over 18 who wish to come together and exchange support in a safe environment.

Our Gender Spectrum Wellbeing Group is for trans, non-binary, intersex, gender-fluid, gender-queer, agender, gender-questioning people, and those who identify (wholly, or in part) as different from the gender they were assigned at birth.

The group is a wellbeing space for, and run by, gender diverse people. We will help you connect in a community space with others with shared identities. During the session, you can always take some space to think about your life, what’s working well, and where you can try new things to level up on your life satisfaction.

In the group, we share space with the community, talk about wellbeing, and learn new things we can put into practice that can spark joy, ease discomfort, and feel empowering.
