New LGBT Group in Hertfordshire
Hertfordshire Partnership are looking at the possibility to set up a group for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people with learning disabilities/ difficulties.
Bryan is manager of the Sexuality Support Team, a service run by Hertfordshire Trust and John is a service user of the Sexuality Support Team.
They have been exploring opportunities for gay men with learning disabilities to meet new friends or potential partners for a number of years. These opportunities are very limited and speaking to other lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people they feel this is a common issue.
At this stage, Hertfordshire Partnership are looking at making contact with people with learning disabilities in Hertfordshire with a view to setting up a meeting to discuss whether people are interested in developing a network.
If you are a person with learning disabilities or know a person with learning disabilities who is lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender and are interested in attending an initial meeting to look at this possibility, please email Bryan at Brvan.MeHan@hertspartsft.nhs.uk or JJMLeach@hotmail.com or ring Bryan on 01923670796.
Please contact Byran or John by the 30th September.
