Deaf Community Focus Group (BSL and English interpreted)

Are you an LGBTQ+ Deaf person? Come along on to Duncan Place Community Hub on Friday the 22nd of November to share your ideas with staff and volunteers from LGBT Health and Wellbeing. Help us shape our events and activities programme going forward and maybe meet some new people!
We’ll provide snacks and refreshments in a warm and welcoming space. This event is free and will be hosted in BSL with English interpretation.

We will focus on the following questions, with time for your own questions too:

• What events do you like to go to?
• What barriers do you face accessing queer spaces?
• Where do you feel most comfortable socialising?

Light refreshments provided. This is a no alcohol event. If a contribution towards your travel costs to this focus group would be helpful, please email [email protected] with an indication of your travel plans.

All LGBTQ+ people aged 16+ in Edinburgh are welcome to join us.

We welcome the entire diversity of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community including non-binary, queer, intersex, asexual people and all identities under the LGBTQIA+ umbrella.

We also welcome people who are exploring or aren't sure about their sexual orientation/gender identity, or who do not use labels for either.
