Herefordshire’s Rainbow Forum is a group of people keen to help and support the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex community as well as those questioning their sexual orientation or gender in Herefordshire. Most members of the Forum are either L, G, B or T themselves or work in an environment supportive of our community.
We pride ourselves on offering new members the warmest of welcomes and keeping our meetings fun and informal. Some members stay on afterwards for a drink and to socialise. Meetings are held on the last Thursday of each month, 6pm at The Courtyard Centre for the Arts in Hereford.
The Rainbow Forum maintains this website and works in partnership with other organisations to arrange and promote the now annual Out in the Sticks festival and other events throughout the year.
