The Centre for HIV and Sexual Health and the Shout Centre in Sheffield are organising a free conference for the local lesbian, gay and bisexual communities. ‘Spring Out 2006 is taking place between 9.30am and 4.30pm on Saturday 20th May,’ they say. ‘This event aims to promote the health and well-being of Sheffield’s lesbian, gay and bisexual communities. ‘
Lesbian, gay and bisexual people can often feel quite isolated and there may be a tendency to focus on the negative aspects of being gay. This will be a fun, celebratory event encouraging people to consider ways of looking after themselves that will boost their self-esteem.
This is the fourth annual Spring Out conference to be held in Sheffield. Previous events have been very well attended. Richard Jorda from the Shout Centre (one of the event organizers) says ‘We want to continue building on the successes of past Spring Out events and hope to offer a day that celebrates and promotes the health and well-being of lesbian, gay and bisexual communities in Sheffield.’
‘There are lots of great, very hard working community groups in Sheffield and this is an opportunity for everyone to get together, build the sense of community and take part in workshops and discussions in a safe and fun environment,’ adds Anthony Bains from the Centre for HIV and Sexual Health.
Workshops and activities planned include art, creative writing, exercise, meditation, relaxation and discussion groups. This year the event will end with an evening of cabaret. Participants at Spring Out will receive free tickets for this evening event.
