Cambridge has a thriving, welcoming LGBTQ+ community both at the university and in the wider town. Below you can find links to help you connect to both.
Cambridge University
LGBT+ Staff Network |
The University's LGBT+ Staff Network welcomes all individuals who work for the University, a College or an associated institution, who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual and/or transgender (LGBT+). Alongside the University's other Diversity Networks the LGBT+ Staff Network provides information and support to staff, assists with the co-ordination of diversity events and helps the University to progress equality. |
Students Union LGBT+ |
The purpose of this group is to create an easy-going climate, where people can make new friends and form a local community and pursue social activities together. Working through Meetup this allows the scheduling of events to be as frequent as the group would wish them to be without any central organisation requirements. |
Q+STEM |
We are working with STEM academics at the University of Cambridge to coordinate a university-wide Q+STEM network. |
