  Visibility

  Visibility is about being seen, heard and recognised. For LGBT+ people, especially in towns and communities outside major cities, visibility matters in practical and emotional ways.

  Why visibility matters

  • Safety: Clear presence of LGBT+ people and supportive allies can reduce isolation and make it safer for individuals to express themselves.

  • Health and wellbeing: Feeling visible reduces minority stress, improves mental health, and increases access to appropriate services.

  • Representation: Visibility

• Friendly, approachable volunteers (DBS-checked)

• Signposting to trusted organisations including:

  • Trade Sexual Health

  • Leicestershire LGBT+ Centre

  • Turning Point

  • NHS Mental Health Services

• Free refreshments

• A fully wheelchair-accessible venue

A Space for You

We believe everyone deserves to feel heard, supported, and accepted.

Whether it’s your first time reaching out or you’re already connected within the community, this is a space where you can feel safe, build connections, and be yourself.
