Please come along & have your say at our focus LGBT+ group meeting, open to all across Sheffield, even if you are not yourself LGBT+ but want to help us build a welcoming & safe community. Tell us what you think we need to do to make Sheffield the friendliest LGBT+ city in the country.

In the mean time please email us with ideas you would like us to discuss at our meeting to: [email protected]

Also please join our brand new online page, designed to link up all the existing seperate LGBT+ groups across Sheffield in one easy to find safe place: www.facebook.com/SheffieldLGBTPlusFriends

Tell us YOUR ideas, for example we will be discussing the creation of our very own centralised highly vissible "gay village" (Sheffield's own version of Manchesters "gay village" on Canal Street), with "city angels" to ensure it is a safe and welcoming place, & as well as LGBT+ oriented businesses, it could provide a safe place for sexual health & mental health support, & a safe place to transition & come out.

Looking forward to seeing you there. Please register your intentions (register for a ticket & optionally email [email protected] ) so that I can plan numbers; the current venue can hold 50 but I can upgrade to a larger room if there is enough interest. If you register but then cant make it please let me know!

Kind regards,

Tim, a Sheffield LGBT+ Executive Officer
