What we’re about
Welcome!!
We're all about bringing LGBT+ people together.
The page was established in 2015 and in 2021, I took over responsibility for the group and then in 2022, established Rainbow Connections, Rainbow Connections hosts the page, holds a monthly coffee afternoon in central Birmingham. Our Event Organisers host various events including regular nights out in the gay village, countryside walks and more. We've set up a web-site and reached out to other community groups to give them access so to the Meetup page. If you want to organise an event yourself, or are part of an existing LGBT+ community group, we'd love to hear from you. You'll already find groups like Swifts, the LGBT+ running group and Boot Women the walking group advertising on the Rainbow Connections page.
To host a meetup group, (ie Birmingham LGBT Meetup, the whole group page), now costs around £350 per year, in a fee to meetup.com, This was paid for years by one individual from their own pocket. The six monthly fees are due in February and August, as our numbers rise, Meetup.com increases the rates. We've asked each event organiser to do one collection or to make one contribution each year.
