Local Family Catch-ups

Meeting other rainbow families in your local area is both a lot of fun and helps break through some of the isolation and discrimination LGBTQ+ parents and carers and their children experience. 

Our catchups welcome gay dads, lesbian mums, trans/gender diverse parents, and people who became parents through adoption, fostering and surrogacy.
