Outsiders Groups

Outsiders is responsive to the needs of our members and to the sexual needs of disabled people in general.

To this end, we are running several pilot schemes and initiatives, in the hope of getting funding in order to be able to establish national networks.

• SHADA is the Sexual Health and Disability Alliance which is being created so that helpline operators, and professionals advising disabled people about their sexual problems, can learn from each other, and formulate policies.
• The V-Group is for disabled women with sexual problems.
• The LGBT Network is for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered disabled people to support each other and enjoy themselves.
• Sweet Talk is a pilot scheme being run with Danda, to help people with Aspergers Syndrome and neurodiverse people learn how to initiate relationships.
• The Bristol Initiative has been funded by the St. Monica Trust to establish ways to help disabled people feel less isolated in urban sprawls.
