Manchester Pride's Community Sessions spotlight grassroots organisations that support intersectional LGBTQ+ communities.

Each month we'll invite you to join us in celebrating and learning more about the incredible community groups that make LGBTQ+ life in Manchester so special.

Community Sessions are vibrant and inclusive events that bring together grassroots LGBTQ+ community groups to raise awareness of their important work and inspire attendees to get involved. Held monthly at The Proud Place in Manchester City Centre, these sessions offer an incredible opportunity for LGBTQ+ communities and allies to gather, grow, learn, and celebrate.

At Community Sessions, we create a safe and inclusive space where everyone feels welcome, respected, and valued. It's a place where LGBTQ+ individuals can learn about the experiences of others within the community, and allies can gain a deeper understanding of the LGBTQ+ experience and how they can use their privilege and networks to support LGBTQ+ people.

Each month, we focus on a different topic related to LGBTQ+ life, ranging from healthcare to the experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals aged over 55. Through these informative sessions, we aim to broaden perspectives and deepen understanding.

Our commitment to intersectional LGBTQ+ identities is at the heart of Community Sessions. We bring together community groups that represent diverse aspects of LGBTQ+ life in Greater Manchester. By raising awareness of the challenges faced by marginalised communities, we aim to build empathy, understanding, and support. By attending, you'll gain insights into the issues faced by marginalised communities, broaden your understanding of the LGBTQ+ experience, and become an advocate for equality and inclusivity.

Beyond the educational benefits, Community Sessions create community connections. They provide a space for individuals to connect, share experiences, and celebrate the vibrant and diverse LGBTQ+ community that makes Manchester such a brilliant place to live.

We've received heartfelt testimonials from those who have spoken at Community Sessions, expressing their gratitude for the welcoming environment and newfound confidence. We invite you to join us and be a part of this transformative journey. Whether you are a member of the LGBTQ+ community, an ally, or simply curious to learn more, all are welcome to attend these important conversations.

Manchester Pride Community Sessions are a powerful and inclusive platform that celebrates LGBTQ+ diversity and empowers communities. By attending, you'll have the opportunity to learn, connect, and contribute to the ongoing progress and equality for all. Together, we can make a positive impact on the LGBTQ+ community and create a more inclusive and compassionate society.
