A Celebration 30+ Years in the Making!

Join us for a vibrant celebration of the lives, stories, and defiant joy that define Staffordshire’s LGBTQ+ and HIV communities.

This special one-day pop-up exhibition marks over three decades since our journey began. It’s our birthday, and we want to celebrate with you! Step into our living history and honour the people who built our community from the ground up. Through rare photos, personal stories, and powerful art, we’re celebrating the triumphs, the friendships, and the incredible resilience that defines us.

Come and share in the pride, the art, and the community spirit. It’s more than an exhibition—it’s a party for our past, present, and future.

Hosted by Project 93

From our beginnings as Staffordshire Buddies in 1993, we’ve been here providing support and a safe space for LGBTQ+ people and those affect by HIV to thrive. Today, we continue that legacy stronger than ever, offering free counselling, community groups, and advocacy.
