February is LGBTQ+ History Month

Thursday, 2 February 2023 17:32

LGBT+ History Month is for everyone; whether you work in education, a museum, library or art gallery, a business, a service, are a member of a network/social group or an individual.

It is celebrated every February across the UK, and was founded in 2004 by Schools OUT co-chairs, Paul Patrick & Professor Emeritus Sue Sanders. It was first celebrated in February 2005.

Every year Schools OUT sets a different theme for LGBT+ History Month and provides free resources for education settings, businesses, services and organisations to help them celebrate and usualise LGBT+ lives in their full diversity.

At RainbowBiz CIC we will be celebrating LGBTQ+ History Month by inviting member of the LGBTQ+ community to join our regular walking group for a special FREE session of Walking For Wellbeing on Tuesday February 28th.
