Gays the Word Lesbian Discussion Group
The Lesbian Discussion Group at Gay's The Word is a great place for all women who enjoy debating or listening to discussions about current affairs, sexuality, politics, lifestyle and Lesbian-specific topics. We know that joining a group of strangers can initially be a scary thing, which is why it should be pointed out that it is never compulsory for everybody to speak or contribute. Nonetheless we do, of course, welcome and encourage active participation. The group itself is run by a couple of experienced facilitators, who also voluntarily organise special fundraisers and group socials. Past events have included park picnics, improvised sport matches, club outings and speed dating evenings. It is our aim to foster and nurture the idea of a Lesbian Community within the city, which is why we are always happy to welcome and integrate people who are new to the group.

GEMS—Gay Elderly Men’s Society Brighton
Brighton GEMS is a social group for gay men over the age of 50 in Brighton and Hove and the surrounding area. Our aim is to provide events for those that are still socially active and to provide help for those who find themselves in isolation, often due to failing health. The story of the group begins in 1997 when the Older Lesbian and Gay Men’s Forum was formed as an extension of Age Concern Brighton. It was felt that more work was needed to help older members of the community. This later became GEMS and is now known as Brighton GEMS. The proudest moment in our history was when in 2011 we were recognised for the services we provide when receiving the award of The Queens Award for Voluntary Services to the Community. What the Group Does Each month we hold a series of events. This includes attending theatre events, going for meals, attending local LGBTQ community events and going on day-trips. Brighton GEMS also hold two meetings a month at Dorset Gardens Methodist Church Hall. These are held on the second Monday (2.30 to 4.30pm) and final Friday (7 to 9pm) of the month. The events start with a buffet and are followed by speakers from other local support and social groups. This gives our members the chance to learn about other groups and services that can help them. The group always welcomes new members. If you live in Brighton and Hove or the surrounding district, free membership is easily available.

Gloucester Rural Friendship Group
LGBT People and those exploring their sexual orientation can often find themselves isolated in a hostile environment. Rural isolation, because of age, lack of transport, lack of money or friends may further add to a sense of loneliness and lack of self confidence. Isolation can be exacerbated by an experience of illegality (as gay men over 60 will well know), or by constant homophobic bullying and harassment. Peer support can make a tremendous difference. Friendship Support Groups will give an individual a sense of belonging, widen personal and social networks and support a stronger sense of well-being. The groups offer the opportunity to have fun, develop skills, gain knowledge and confidence. Groups will be run by volunteers who have similar experiences as other members of the group. They understand the prospective members might feel nervous about joining a group. You will be met by trained volunteers who will accompany you to your first meeting.

L & G Christian Movement LGCM
The Inaugural General Meeting of the Gay Christian Movement (as it was then called) was held on 3rd April 1976, and at that meeting both the Statement of Conviction and the Aims of the Movement were agreed by the members. Later, our name was changed to the Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement, in recognition of the increasing contribution of women to our work.In almost 40 years since then, it has never been felt necessary to change either the Statement or the Aims. Despite the huge changes in society, and the gentler pace of change in the churches, our conviction remains unchanged. It still calls us to respond in prophetic and authentic ways to anything which diminishes people because of the gender of the person they fall in love with – particularly when the Christian faith is used to justify that injustice.

Nottingham Chameleon Group
The group is one of the oldest 'local' Social and Self help groups for the Transgendered Community in the UK. They are based in Nottingham and can trace their roots back over 21 years—when being an ’out and about’ T-girl wasn’t an option! Girls come to ’NotChams’ from all over the East Midlands region and beyond. Why not come along and give the group a try? It’s a great safe place for a first night out and you can be sure of a warm welcome. Wives, partners and parents are also very welcome to come along should they wish. You can find their meeting dates here. Your first visit is free and after that there is an entrance fee of £3.50. For wives, partners or parents, however, attendance remains free (lucky so-and-so’s). You don’t have to attend 'en femme' as they have changing facilities on site. Tea and coffee is available, so you won’t sit there spitting feathers, although there is a small charge for soft drinks. Other than drinking tea and chatting, the group sometimes runs a quiz or hosts a themed evening such as line dancing or 'tea on the green'. These are just for fun and you can join in (or not) as you wish.

Order of Perpetual Indulgence Convent of Dunn Eideann
The Sisters and Brothers of the Order of Perpetual Indulgence are part of a worldwide order of queer men and women of all sexualities. Formed around 1979 in response to attacks on the queer community by fundamentalist religious organisations, its tenets are: The expiation of stigmatic guilt, and The promulgation of universal joy. By eradicating guilt and promoting universal joy, we aim to end prejudice and intolerance towards those who ’dare to be different’. By manifesting in habit, the Sisters and Brothers challenge gender stereotypes and the oppression of organised religious orthodoxy, which still refuses to accept queers (or, indeed, anyone living an ’unacceptable’ lifestyle) as being equal members of society with a right to their sexuality.

Out & About Hiking—Dublin
The Out and About hiking group (originally the Hirschfeld Outdoors Group) was set up in December 1989 as a social outlet for gay men, lesbians, bisexuals and their friends – an alternative to the prevailing pub & club scene. Originally one Sunday outing a month was organised, with a mix of hikes, bicycle rides and visits to tourist attractions. Hiking proved the most popular of the outings, and Sunday hikes have now become the mainstay of the group. Hikes are now organised every Sunday of the year – except at Christmas. There is always a faster- and a slower-paced option each Sunday, the two groups meeting up for a drink at a local pub to finish off the day.

They’re a new london-based group for all stitchers, bitchers and crafty queers. They meet on the first and third wednesday evenings of the month in a queer (or queer-friendly) venue in central london. Four of them met and started stitching and bitching together at this year’s bicon, and it was such good therapy that they decided to bring it back with us to london. They think there are probably quite a few other crafty queers in the capital, so they hope you’ll join them. you don’t have to be able to stitch or bitch, they can show you how to do both. queer stitch&bitch is open to all queer people who want to have a go.

Striding Out
Striding Out is a group for lesbian walking breaks. This is an informal set-up with the aims of a creating a friendly and inclusive social get-together for a smallish group (8-12 women), staying in a variety of accommodations for 2-4 nights, and walking with a qualified guide in beautiful areas around the UK with like-minded souls.
The main hub of the group is the Striding Out Facebook group. This is a closed (so private) group with over 600 members. Details and photos of previous, current and future holidays can be seen here. Alternatively, there is an email list: the current programme and updates are sent out to this list. Please do request to join either of these!
The aim is to create informal opportunities for a relaxed get-together to walk, eat, drink and explore beautiful areas. It's inclusive, flexible and friendly, and the walks are at a comfortable pace for the group. They’re not obligatory or intended to be arduous and it’s fine to do your own thing – or to extend or shorten walks independently! Most women come alone; a few come with a friend or partner. There are usually a mixture of single occupancy and twin/double rooms. Before a walking break, group emails are sent out in case anyone wants to chat or share transport.
