Claiming our past – Celebrating our present – Creating our future
Every February is LGBTQ+ History Month. This year, our mission during the month is to spotlight the vibrant narratives of the LGBTQ+ community, promoting understanding, acceptance and allyship within the Students' Guild and University.
We are proud to be sharing a whole range of events and activities throughout the month with the LGBTQ+ Society and Queer and BAME Collective, as well as all our LGBTQ+ students and their friends.
