About the Meet-Up

Helpu’s regular LGBT Men’s Meet-Up is a welcoming space for LGBT men and allies to connect in a relaxed, no-pressure environment. It’s a place to be yourself, share experiences, and foster a sense of community without judgment.

Why Join?

Connecting with others helps combat isolation and fosters belonging, which is especially meaningful for LGBT men facing unique challenges. This space isn’t solely focused on mental health – it’s a place to laugh, cry, and sometimes even rant, creating bonds that support well-being. But don’t worry its unlikely to be dull!
