The group was founded in early 2015 to bring together LGBT people who wanted to make new friends - and it has done just that!
We hold a monthly coffee afternoon in central Birmingham, regular nights out in the gay village, and a variety of other smaller scale meetups hosted by group members, which include walks and the chance to connect with others to attend a football match. If you want to organise an event yourself, we'd love to hear from you.
To host a meetup group, (ie Birmingham LGBT Meetup, the whole group) costs just under £200 per year, in a fee to meetup.com, which has been paid for some time by one individual from their own pocket. The next six monthly fee is due in Feb '22. No-one hosting events will be charged, but I hope that some groups will be amenable to asking members and some.members will be happy to chip in 20p-£2 per person, to raise the money we need.
