Walks are between 6 and 10 miles. Transport from Nottingham can often be arranged. In Summer, occasionally organises shorter mid-week walks. The group has been going over 10 years, regularly has 20-30 women on each Sunday walk. Also organises weekends away at rural Youth Hostels. A good place to network and find out about other local lesbian events.

Proud Forest is the new LGBTQ+ Forest supporters group which has filled the gap left by the closure of LGBT Trickies.

Founder Martin Hyland says “I am proud to be part of the Forest family that is welcoming, diverse and, in the main part, inclusive. Seeing our club actively take part in the Rainbow Laces campaign, makes us feel that the club has got our back as LGBTQ+ fans and wants us to be part of this amazing journey.”

Notts Trans Hub is a website created for the safer space guidelines and to provide support for trans community organising in Notts.

Subscribing to Notts Trans Hub will bring you their monthly bulletin. This is a way of sharing information with anyone interested without them being deluged with lots of emails – services, supporters, and trans folks can send us information to put in the bulletin (to trustees@nottstranshub.org) and we will share it in the monthly email.

Includes a facilitated trans support group in Nottingham that meets on the first Monday of each month.  There will be at least 2 community trained volunteer facilitators present at all times, and one will always be trans.

The group will be open to, and supportive of, anyone over 18 who feels they fit/belong under the “trans umbrella” – this includes those questioning, part time, or not out, and all non-binary and genderqueer identities as well as all those identifying as transgender or transsexual, or with a transgender or transsexual history.

Trans members may also bring up to two supporters. The group will meet in a privately hired room. The building is close to city centre, public transport, and on street metered parking. There is space to get changed, gender neutral toilets, break away space. We will try and have a structure to the evening but nothing too formal. At the start, supporters and trans members can mingle, get a drink and a biscuit.

We started back in the early 80s when being Out & About just wasn’t an option. The group is one of the longest-running groups for the UK transgender community.

You can use the contact form on https://www.nottinghamchameleons.co.uk/ to find out more.

We’re a discrete group, so we won’t ever have “LGBT” signs or big rainbow flags about, so don’t worry if you’re not out/partially out.

New people join all the time, so don’t feel nervous about coming along for the first time. We’re a friendly bunch and there’s usually a couple of first-timers at each meet up.  The group was founded for people in their 20s and 30s to meet up.  Regular meetings take place and details are posted on the website, which is now a Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/nottinghamLGBT20sand30s/
