Notts LGBT+ Network is a registered charity, run entirely by unpaid volunteers. Based in central Nottingham, we have been offering support and advice to the county’s LGBT+ community, their friends and family, as well as local organisations and businesses, since 1975.

Our network creates a safe space for people looking for information, support and help relating to LGBT+ issues, including sexuality, gender identity, sexual health and emotional well-being. We primarily work with over 18’s but we are able to signpost to organisations who work with under 18’s.

We are proud to say that we have been able to help over 80,000 people since the network started and partnered with more than 100 groups and organisations across Nottinghamshire to raise awareness of LGBT+ issues.
