HIV and sexual health charity Terrence Higgins Trust (THT), is launching two new support groups for gay and bisexual men living in and around the Wolverhampton region. The LADS Cafe is a weekly social every Monday from 6-9pm for gay and bisexual men aged 18 and over. The second group, the Older LADS Café, is aimed at gay and bisexual men aged 35 and over, and will meet every second Monday of each month from 2-5pm. The groups will be based at THTs office in the city centre.

The aim of both groups is to provide gay and bisexual men with the opportunity to socialise, share experiences, and provide mutual support. THT can also provide information and advice around HIV and sexual health, and on services available in the region, including counselling and testing clinics.

Marika Williamson, Manager for THT in Wolverhampton said: "These new groups will provide a safe, supportive and confidential environment for gay and bisexual men. We hope the LADS Café and the Older LADS Café will be seen as the first port of call for men who want to meet like minded people and confidentially discuss issues like sexuality, relationships and sexual health. If you'd like information or support, or if you'd just like to meet people in the same boat as you, please come along."

To attend or find out more about the LADS Café or the Older LADS Café please contact THT in Wolverhampton on: 01902 711818 or email info.wolverhampton@tht.org.uk.
