- Date: Thursday 2nd July, 2026
- Time: 11am - 12.30pm
About this session
When did you first see someone like yourself in a film, TV show, song, or book? What stories, characters, or artists helped you feel understood? Where do you find joy, connection, and representation today?
Sometimes, we are not fully seen. Bring along a favourite song, film clip, character, poem, quote, or story that resonates with you. Together, we'll share experiences, discover new perspectives, and learn more about each other while building connections in a welcoming and supportive space.
About LGBTQ+ HangOuts
A twice monthly friendly and welcoming online social and peer support group for LGBTQ+ people (18+) to come together and connect with one another in a safe, inclusive, informal, friendly and non-judgmental space.
Our aim is to reduce isolation by creating a safe space to get to know each other through shared lived experiences, topic discussions and creative activities.
- We meet online on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month 11am - 12.30pm
- Please try to arrive 5 minutes early. The Zoom room closes at 11.10am (this is so we can minimise any disruption).
- Please read our online group agreement
LGBTQ+ HangOuts is funded by the National Lottery Community Fund as part of a joint mental health programme in partnership with London Friend and Elop. LGBT HERO is funded to deliver online support groups for LGBTQ+ people. LGBTQ+ HangOuts is part of this work.
