Welcome to the Bi Programme! We put on monthly online events for the bi community, and all those who come under the bi umbrella. In past events we’ve got crafty, had discussions about personal bi histories and dating as a bi person, and had some fun with Biconic Bingo and our Big Bi Quiz of The Quarantine. Keep an eye on this page for our upcoming events and email us at bi@lgbt.foundation to stay in touch!

Our aim is to create a safe, social place for Bi people where they can meet, make friends, and improve their own wellbeing.
Bi is an inclusive term which includes any people with attraction to more than one gender. This includes bisexual/biromantic, pansexual/panromantic, polysexual/polyromantic, omnisexual/omniromantic, fluid, queer, and any other identities that experience attraction to multiple genders. If you fall under the Bi umbrella, or think you might, you are welcome to come along to our monthly group!
In our past sessions we have: made our own Bi pride keyrings; done some festive glass painting; discussed the unique challenges of dating and relationships as a Bi person.
