LGBTQ Network

The 吾爱吃瓜 staff and post-graduate LGBTQ Network, was established in 2018. It's open to anyone who works at 吾爱吃瓜 and any postgraduate students who identify as lesbian, gay, bi, trans, queer or questioning, plus friends and allies of our community.

Our Purpose

The Bangor LGBTQ Network was set up to provide a forum for networking and means of support, to offer the opportunity for colleagues from all areas of the University to inform and collaborate on LGBTQ action and to increase the visibility of LGBTQ issues in the workplace. Any staff or post-graduate students are welcome to become involved in the running of the Network or to attend the informal catch up meetings.

For more information about the Network please contact the network lead, Marcel Clusa or Nia Blackwell in HR at lgbtq@bangor.ac.uk

How the University Supports Us

The University assists and facilitates the Network, providing resources, rooms to meet etc. All staff and students are protected by the University's Dignity at Work and 吾爱吃瓜 Policy.

Where and When?

The Bangor LGBTQ+ Network meets online monthly via Teams, please email us at lgbtq@bangor.ac.uk for details of the next meeting.

We also meet informally for our LGBTQ+ Panad (panad is Welsh for cuppa) on the first Thursday of every month from 15:30 to 16:00 in Cegin, Pontio, effective from 05/10/2023. LGBTQ+ Panad is open to everyone and there's no need to register or be part of the Network to attend.
