United Pride Friends
A group for LGBTQ+ people with Autism and Learning difficulties
At the heart of our service, we want to have a great time!
We aim to bring members of the LGBTQ+ community with Autism and Learning difficulties together in a safe space that is accessible, accepting and confidential.
What We Do
Our aim is to build the confidence of our members through workshops and social events, as well as providing educational sessions where we will discuss topics that affect this community, such as dealing with homophobia, discrimination and coming out to friends and family.
Trips and Days Out
Providing members with fantastic opportunities to socialise in settings outside of our usual group venue
Befriending Service
Giving members a safe place to meet new people and make friends.
Group Sessions
Our aim is to build the confidence of our members through workshops and social events
Our goal as people with Autism & Learning difficulties is to be recognised by society, understanding our needs but also equally see us in the same light.
Showing the world that our community can have and hold down friendships & relationships without discriminative and stereotypical views.
