Services

Community Space
HERE NI’s dedicated community space is a comfortable and relaxed place for lesbian and bisexual women to meet, organise, research or just hang out and read.

Our spacious meeting room and adjacent library are kitted out with a large screen TV and DVD player; a Wii console; information leaflets; toys for the kids and a library of over 500 lesbian and bi themed books (many now out of print) that are available to our users.

Learning
HERE NI provides adult learning for lesbian and bisexual women in a supportive and encouraging environment. We offer classes and courses for women in our Belfast community space, many of which offer certification on completion. Our courses have included everything from horticulture to lesbian history and health & well being and are open to all women.

Training
One of the ways in which we support the improved well being of lesbian and bisexual women and our families is to provide training for staff who are working in service provision, whether that be in relation health, education, social welfare or any area that is relevant to our everyday lives.

HERE NI offers a facilitated Sexual Orientation Awareness Training package to non-LGBT groups, organisations, service providers and agencies. This training has been developed to support teams and workers in providing better services to clients and users who are same-sex attracted or identify as lesbian or bisexual.
