How we can support you

The North Somerset LGBT+ Forum runs social groups, events and drop-ins for our local community. You can find the latest details on our social media.

We aim to offer safe, welcoming spaces where people can connect, reduce isolation, build confidence, and meet new people.

We are not an emergency or crisis service and can’t provide advice on mental health, medical, or legal issues. If you need support, please contact one of the external services listed below.
