North Somerset LGBT+ Forum

About Us

We are a registered charity that has been supporting LGBT+ people, along with their friends, families and allies, across North Somerset since 2017.

We’re an independent, volunteer-led charity that believes everyone deserves to feel welcomed, valued and supported. Whether you’re looking to meet new people, make friends, access support or simply be yourself, you’ll always receive a warm welcome from us.

Throughout the year we organise social groups, community drop-ins, wellbeing activities, fundraising events and campaigns that bring people together. We aim to keep our activities affordable, accessible and, wherever possible, free to attend. Everything we do is made possible through the dedication of our volunteers, generous donations, fundraising and charitable grants.

Our aim

To create a safe, welcoming and inclusive community where LGBT+ people, their families and allies can connect, feel supported and have their voices heard.

Our Vision

We want North Somerset to be a place where everyone is free to be themselves, where diversity is celebrated, and where LGBT+ people feel safe, respected and included in every part of community life.
