------------------------------------
We run social events, including the monthly 'attitude free' club night, Identity, a weekly coffee afternoon (LGBTea) and regular film screenings. Look out for posters, drop us an email, or come along to one of our meetings at 7:30pm every Wednesday at Bar Uno to find out what's happening and when.
We also provide a number of support services, including access to Unity Guides. Unity Guides are peer guides who are specifically trained to help with gender and sexuality related issues, but are also on hand to help with settling in, finding friends, or a casual chat if you need one. We can offer complete anonymity, either on a one-on-one basis or during one of our drop in sessions. See below for a link to the Unity Guides' page.
Unity also runs a number of campaigns each year, including AIDs awareness/LGBTQ sexual health, Donation Not Discrimination, trans* rights and LGBT domestic abuse. If there's an issue that you think is important, do not hesitate to get in touch with us and ask us to run a campaign on this issue.
