Highland LGBT Forum
The Highland LGBT Forum is a charity based in Inverness with a committee of local volunteers. We organise a variety of events where everyone is welcome.
We also campaign for the fair treatment of all LGBT people and we liaise with many other organisations (locally and nationally).
We look to the day when our LGBT community is fully integrated within our society.
Ways to get involved:
The Highland LGBT Forum aims to promote the mental, physical and social wellbeing of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people in the Highlands by providing information and events.
We also wish to promote fair and equal treatment for LGBT people by challenging the stigma and discrimination experienced by them at both community and personal level.
We have held two Pride Balls in Inverness and we organise regular social events for LGBT people and friends.
We have run stalls at the Inverness Highland Games, Aberdeen Pride and several Freshers' Fayres.
