LGBTQIA+

Welcome to the LGBTQIA+ Society!

 This year we are hoping to continue to create a warm, welcoming and supportive space for all LGBTQIA+ Students across the University of Derby and beyond!

We are planning on running weekly society meets on a weekday evening, the day is TBC, with other activities spread throughout the year. Be sure to keep an eye on what we've got planned through our social medias and discord server!

What do we have planned this year?

We will be continuing to run our weekly meets where we hang out and socialise in a calm and supportive environment, during which we will be playing board games, video games, and even watching movies/TV shows. These are free of charge to attend for members and non-members alike. We intend to be a community first!

We are also aiming to run larger social events, such as trips to nearby pride events, trips to local attractions, fundraisers for LGBTQ+ charities, collaborative events with other societies, themed social nights, an end of year social and hopefully much more!
