The Joyce Leyland LGBT centre is in a central location; easily accessible by train, bus and car, and so it's a great 'come to' and 'go from' space. We use the private group meeting area from 14.30, the café is a communal space until 4pm after which the whole centre is for the exclusive use of "Butterflies".

The dressing area is private but we do not currently have the facility to store any items.

Supported by TransForum Manchester and Manchester Concord

We now have our own wall space to show our work.
