Queer Out Here

This August we’re celebrating our queer spirit of adventure. Are you interested in meeting new people and getting out and about in the outdoors? Then you’ll want to check out our interview with LGBTQ+ outdoors collective Queer Out Here!

“Most outdoor spaces are not led by queer leaders, and this can mean that facilitated outdoor spaces are way too intimidating for many people to access. We want to change that and provide an outdoor space that feels safe and welcoming.”

“Queer people are a part of nature - and when I look around on a walk and see a big group of queer pals walking through the countryside, it makes me feel happy and hopeful.”

Ride for Pride: Lucy Rogers

Check out our new video, ‘In Conversation with Lucy Rogers’, about Lucy’s 100-mile bike ride with the BeProud Network at Bentley to fundraise for LGBT Foundation.

Lucy tells her story of supporting LGBTQ+ communities through a Charity Challenge and the physical and personal adventure that she went on across her 100 miles!

 Watch our conversation with Lucy 

Your Charity Challenge might see you explore some untrodden ground in the world around you, in your local community or within yourself. If – like Lucy – you want to take part in your own Charity Challenge adventure and join our community of fundraisers, email charity@lgbt.foundation
