Become an LGBT+ PLUS Partner today

We love networking and we are also serious about our approach in teaming up with LGBT+ inclusive clubs, charities and business to help promote individuality and our mutual aims on a basis that works for both of us.

This may be as simple as helping each other with promotional activities, supporting each others events, sharing recourses and facilities, providing volunteers or networking with each others members, clients and customers.

This does in no way need to result in merging together or diminishing the identity and independents of our separate organisations, so there really isn't anything to lose and instead there's only new possibilities to achieve greater things by being pro-active in which to build and grow!

Interested then please contact us at info@stockportplus.org.

A taste of our active partnerships...


Disability Stockport

Disability Stockport is a voluntary organisation which assists and supports people with physical disabilities and/or sensory loss or impairments. They stand up for disabled people so you are fairly treated and keep up to date with issues that matter to disabled people. They listen and respond to local disabled people in order to have a handle on what extra support they may need. They work alongside other organisations that are able to more acutely meet a client needs, as well as providing guidance and assisting helpers of disabled people in Stockport and the surrounding area. We encourage you to join Disability Stockport because your views (and those of your family or carer) are important to them. More information can be found on their website, alongside facebook and twitter.

Stockport's LGBT History Month (February)

This event has been running for many years and is made up of schedule of individual events which take place throughout February. They aim to promote awareness and understanding of LGBT+ history locally, nationally and internationally. In 2019 LGBT+ PLUS organised the event in partnership with NEXUS Stockport and Stockport Libraries. We were joined by inspirational guest speakers and ambassadors from LGBT+ supportive organisations and individuals such as BiPhoria Manchester, Trans Manchester, George House Trust, The Albert Kennedy Trust and a local LGBT+ singer and musician. In 2023 the event was coordinated by the Stockport Pride committee, assisted by our local volunteer LGBT+ organisations.

Stockport Pride

In 2017 LGBT+ PLUS (previously recognised as 'People Like Us Stockport') launched the first successful LGBT+ Pride event in Stockport. Pride has grown to become an annual event in Stockport taking place on the last weekend of July. The event is coordinated by their own independent committee of non-paid volunteers. They also help to arrange networking events which bring our local LGBT organisations together. LGBT+ PLUS continues to be one of their largest supporters and many of our members enthusiastically provide  voluntary support at the annual pride.
