General information about meetings and events

• Meetings are open only to GLADD members and so you need to join GLADD before you receive full details of GLADD events as well as application forms to attend them. If, after participating in your first GLADD event you decide that you would rather not be a member of GLADD then we will happily refund your subscription although we are confident that we will not need to do this
• For reasons of confidentiality, the exact location and time of meetings is only notified to GLADD members
• Although we welcome members' guests at some events, if the guest is eligible to be a member of GLADD then they should apply to join GLADD in the usual way
• Check out the Members only area for the very latest changes to time, date or venue of forthcoming meetings. Please get in touch to confirm these details before setting out.
• The appearance of a speaker at any meeting is not to be taken as any indication of the sexual, social or political orientation of that person or any organisation they might represent.

Forthcoming GLADD meetings and events

This is a list of forthcoming national GLADD events. Many events have a theme and are followed by a social event. We find this gives gives a sense of purpose to our meetings but also allows good opportunities for socialising which our members find important. Although this is a list of national events, we also have a number of active local groups throughout the country who meet regularly on a purely social basis; many members enjoy these gatherings and are able to gain and provide much-needed support for one another. Please do get in touch  to find out more. 

There is a full list of member orientated meetings in the Members Only Area - if you need the password please email us at secretary@gladd.org.uk
