LGBT+ History Month Stockport 2021 Body, Mind, Spirit Events Programme
LGBT+ History Month Stockport - February 2021
Introduction
Welcome to LGBT+ History Month in Stockport 2021!! We
are delighted to bring you over 30 events and
activities based around the theme of Body, Mind, Spirit.
In what has been the toughest year in living memory for
most of us, is it vital that we come together to "claim our
past, celebrate our present, create our future" (LGBT+
History Month's motto)
With a mix of fun, serious and educational
activities we hope to bring together our
beautifully diverse community and showcase
local talents.
Please understand the complexity of organising an
entire month of virtual activities, at a time such as this -
some events may change slightly so please keep an eye
out on social media.
To register for the events please follow the link on
People Like Us Stockport's website - LGBT+ PLUS or scan

We hope you enjoy the month! Sending rainbows to you
all.
