Healthy, Active & Visible: Changing LGBTIQ+ Lives in Perth & Tayside

A community health, physical activity and sport showcase event.
About this Event

Join LEAP Sports and friends for a mince pie and some festive cheer as we showcase a variety of exciting community LGBTIQ+ development work in physical activity and sport, and hear directly from those involved about the impact on their physical and mental health and wellbeing.

Why do so many LGBTIQ+ people not participate in physical activity and sport? Why are health outcomes for LGBTIQ+ people so much worse? How can our communities, services and spaces be more inclusive and more reflective of our diverse population? What ways can we work together to make the change?

You will have the chance to meet and hear from sports groups such as Dundee Deuces, Perth Parrots and more. Pride of the Terraces will also host a live ‘Seen and Heard’ discussion with some local community members.

This event will bring together key policymakers, practitioners, funders and community stakeholders with an interest in improving physical activity and health outcomes for LGBTIQ+ communities, and we will celebrate the growing diversity and profile of LGBTIQ+ grassroots sport and community physical activity in the area.
