The Country LGBTIQ+ Inclusion Program’s monthly Rainbow Coffee Club is coming to Romsey.
In partnership with Romsey Neighbourhood House, the social group organised by Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health in Kyneton for the past two years, will host a second gathering a month.
The aim is to connect local adults who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex, queer, and other minority gender identities and sexualities who live in the east of the Macedon Ranges Shire.
The gatherings promote enjoying each other’s company over good coffee and conversation.
The Rainbow Coffee Club is one of the initiatives of the Country LGBTIQ+ Inclusion Program, known as CLIP, which supports the health and wellbeing of LGBTIQ+ adults in the Macedon Ranges.
“Being part of a community and feeling socially connected can really have a positive impact on a person’s mental and physical health,” group organiser Belinda Brain said.
“These coffee catch-ups are a great way to meet new people and create meaningful social connections and a sense of belonging to the community.”
Romsey Rainbow Coffee Club will meet at Romsey Community Co-Op on the second Friday of the month, from 11am to 12pm, with the first to take place on Friday, December 8.
The Romsey Community Co-Op is at 126 Main Street, Romsey.
