LGBTQ+ History Month with Project 93

Project 93, a registered charity based in Hanley. They have been dedicated to supporting Staffordshire’s LGBTQ+ community and individuals affected by HIV since 1993. Find more information about their services in the below leaflet.

February is LGBTQ+ History Month, and as Staffordshire’s only LGBTQ+ charity offering a wide range of services, from counselling to transgender mentoring, education for professionals and more, we are eager to commemorate this important occasion and raise vital funds to support our work.

Project 93 are a small charity, and almost entirely funded by donations, so even a small amount donated would make a big difference.
