Testimonials:
Being a part of the Midlands LGBT+ Project’s social group has been amazing. It has brought me together with like minded people who create a calming and relaxing space and helped to normalize being LGBT+ in the Midlands and rural Ireland

My wife and I moved to the Midlands mid pandemic. We didn’t know anyone there so this group was a chance to meet people in the LGBT+ community. While still primarily a virtual group, we have been able to through the group meet up with other members for walks and chats and it is a social outlet that I am so grateful for. People in the group are of varying ages and backgrounds so there is a conversation for everyone and everyone is made to feel so welcome. I really hope the group continues to be a success as there was little to no visibility regarding anything LGBT+ related in the Midlands and it is important people know there is a community out there and friends to be made
