Outgoing, confident people needed for our engagement volunteer team!
Village Angels
We have several community engagement programmes, including our condom and lube distribution scheme, our Village Angels project, women’s specific outreach, delivering our Out NorthWest magazine, and our HIV Prevention England ‘It Starts with me’ programme.
We need people who enjoy approaching new people, to talk about our work and be a friendly and informative face of The LGF.
We provide training in our resources and campaigns to get you started, and you’ll always be with an LGF member of staff. We have a range of roles, with some being during the day, but most roles involve evening and weekend shifts. You’ll be volunteering with a fun and friendly team and will have the opportunity to meet lots of new people.
To find out more and apply, contact claire.baldwin@lgf.org.uk.
Be an LGB Community Leader
The LGF have begun a new project to recruit, train and empower a group of lesbian, gay and bisexual volunteers to ensure that the health and care needs LGB people are recognised through facilitating interaction between seldom heard LGB voices and NHS organisations.
If you would like to attend or would like more information please contact andrew.gilliver@lgf.org.uk.
We need your Bloomin’ help for Bloomers!
In July, the LGF are launching a new social and support group specifically for older bisexual and lesbian women, called Bloomers! It will be on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday, in the afternoon. For this new excited group, we’re looking for volunteers to help plan and facilitate the group, and help provide a safe and welcoming space for older women who may feel isolated and are looking to make new friends.
Full training will be given, but experience working with older people would be an advantage, especially in groupwork environment. For more information and an application form, please email kate.hardy@lgf.org.uk or phone 0845 3 30 30 30

Carousel is one of the LGF’s most popular and long standing groups, and aims to provide a safe, creative and encouraging environment to bisexual and lesbian women who want to socialise. With this in mind, we are looking for fun, creative and motivated individuals to join a volunteer team to plan and facilitate the group twice a month. From writing quizzes to games nights, the role of a Carousel volunteer is a fun and varied one!
Full training will be given, but experience working in groupwork or LGB environments would be an advantage. For more information and an application form, please email kate.hardy@lgf.org.uk or phone 0845 3 30 30 30
