We will have lots of information about the many LGBTQ+ pride flags and a mountain of colourful beads, so you can make your own bracelet or keyring. It's also an opportunity to have a chat and learn more about different LGBTQ+ identities.
Check out the Students' Union website for more information about UWE's LGBTQ+ community for students.
