SAGE events are run by volunteers. Volunteers care about your safety and comfort. To contribute towards this, support people are most welcome at events.
Respect
We share our own experiences as we understand them and respect others' understanding of their own experiences. Listening sincerely, we "take what we like and leave the rest".
Disrespectful behaviour will not be tolerated and dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
