Support Groups and Advice & Guidance


Proud 'N' Diverse support group and advice meetings offer a safe, welcoming, and inclusive space for LGBTQ+ individuals aged 18 and over, where diverse voices are heard without judgement. These sessions foster genuine connection, shared experiences, and practical strategies that support resilience, confidence, and self-acceptance.

Alongside peer support and open discussion, we provide advice and guidance on a range of topics including identity, coming out, relationships, mental wellbeing, and navigating discrimination. We also empower service users with accurate information and signposting related to workplace rights, equality protections, and basic human rights, helping individuals better understand their options and advocate for themselves in both professional and personal settings.

These services are vital in reducing isolation, challenging feelings of shame or fear, and increasing access to trusted information on rights, health, and community resources. Above all, our support group reminds every participant that they are not alone, and that their experiences are valid, respected, and valued.
