LGBT Health and Wellbeing

LGBT Health and Wellbeing Scotland's health and wellbeing charity for LGBTQ+ people (16+)

Established in 2003, LGBT Health and Wellbeing works to improve the physical, social, and mental health and wellbeing of LGBTQ+ adults (16+) in Scotland. We do this by providing responsive support services, social opportunities for our community to connect, and supporting mainstream services to become more inclusive. We welcome the entire diversity of our le***an, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community including non-binary, q***r, intersex, asexual people and all communities under the LGBTQIA+ umbrella.

Spring cleaning? More like autumn cleaning 👀

A huge thank you to our friends at AXA Health who spent their volunteer day painting and redecorating our new Glasgow community hub! We're getting closer and closer to the space being complete, and it couldn't happen without the community and support we've been receiving 🏳️‍🌈

Let us know in the comments what you think we should decorate the space with next!

If you have a volunteer day at work and would like to use it to help decorate our new space, please get in touch! 💖

October 1st marks the first day of UK Black History Month. This year's theme, 'Honouring Our Communities', encourages us to celebrate unseen and everyday Black individuals.

At LGBT Health and Wellbeing, we want to celebrate and acknowledge that LGBTQ+ Black + People of Colour have always been an integral part of Q***r and Scottish history.

🤎 If you're looking to connect with your community this month, here are some of the organisations and events available for LGBTQ+ QTIBPOC+ individuals, run for and by the community.

🖤 If you'd like to start a community group, please reach out or find out more at the link in our bio.

Just clearing out our camera roll from the past couple of weeks! 🕺👟🪩

Thank you so much to everyone who fundraised for us at the Edinburgh Kiltwalk this year! What a wonderful, sunny day it was, and it was amazing to see our community come together.

As a collective you raised over £2,000!

Every donation helps us create spaces where LGBTQ+ people can find connection, support, and a sense of belonging. Thank you. ❤️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

🌟 Want to get involved in 2027? Keep an eye out for next year's Kiltwalk dates to be announced across Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, and Aberdeen!

We asked what inspired everyone's pieces during clay time - and this is what they said 🥰

This event was the second in a series of creative participatory workshops led by individuals with experience of migration & being New Scots, in partnership with our New Scots project. Individuals were encouraged to explore their background and identity through the medium of clay 🤍
