A monthly event is taking place at a Preston pub for people with a learning disability and autistic adults who identify as LGBTQ+.
The Meet n Match event, run by Spring Into Action, takes place from 6.30pm to 9pm on the second Thursday of every month at The Guild in Fylde Road.
Spring Into Action is committed to creating a world where every individual, regardless of their abilities, feels valued and empowered to fully participate in life.
The organisation focusses on nurturing positive, healthy relationships, fostering equity, and developing essential life skills.

Events and Membership Coordinator, Lauri Bentley, said: “The event is very informal and a place to sit and chat and have a drink or some food with others. Sometimes we do a pub quiz within our group.
“It is important to provide this service for people to have the opportunity to meet others who they can relate to and be able to talk to and to build a social circle and people to turn to for support should they need it.”
The next event will take place on Thursday 14 November.
