LGBT Students in the Students' Union

The LGBT Committee is a student-run group which runs socials, campaigns for your rights and offers confidential welfare support. It’s the main hub of LGBT activity in the Union and any student can get involved by emailing lgbt@sheffield.ac.uk.

For more information on the LGBT Committee, see the LGBT Committee Page.

The full-time Welfare Officer is responsible for championing LGBT issues and campaigns throughout the Union. Contact the Welfare Officer if you want to discuss any LGBT matters.

The LGBT Lounge (link to map) provides a designated safe-space within the Union building for LGBT students to hang out, chat to each other or just relax. Books, DVDs and free condoms are available, plus information on local LGBT groups and services.

Sheffield Students’ Union also runs Yorkshire’s #1 LGBT club night, Climax, which runs once a month on Friday night and regularly attracts clubbers, both student and non-student, from around the county and beyond!
