In all your dealings with group members, we ask you to be aware of personal boundaries; Innuendo and physical touching should be avoided unless you have consent or you're 100% sure it won't make someone feel uncomfortable.

Kindness costs nothing and goes a long way in making the world we live in a nicer place. A thoughtful deed or complimentary word really can brighten someone’s day and make them feel better about life. Please keep in mind the power of words and actions and how they could affect others in our group, whether for good or bad. Be tolerant, respectful, reasonable and fair.

Inclusivity is the bedrock of our group. None of us are the same and what a boring world that would be. We are a group for LGBTQ+ people and allies, therefore you are likely to meet many other people of many different identities and backgrounds and identities. We ask that you are mindful of the things you do and say and ensure they would not make anyone else feel excluded.

Nurturing allows people to feel their contribution, development and efforts are valid and appreciated.

Discrimination, whether verbal or non-verbal is unnecessary not acceptable. We have a zero-tolerance approach to actions or words which are knowingly likely to cause serious offence or make someone feel excluded and unwelcome in the group.
