ALLfm Queeries

In February we advertised a radio opportunity at ALLfm 96.9 on our Facebook page. Eight people from our LGBTQ+ community across Manchester could volunteer to learn how to make radio shows.

We’ve come together and called ourselves “ALL fm Queeries”. The first live show was broadcast on 1 April! You can listen in here.

We were even given certificates for all the hard work we had put in.

Connect, Learn and Join the PROTEST! – Trafford Archives Session

When: Saturday, 5 April 2025 – 11.00am – 3.00pm

Where: Sale Library, Waterside, Sale M33 7ZF

Come and join us and get connected and to your local LGBT+ History. All of us have a personal archive – in a special box, in a messy drawer, in a cherished album … 

We are looking for YOU to share your memories of LGBT+ heritage in Trafford and beyond – badges, gig tickets, posters, home-made banners, zines and almost anything else. We want to digitise and share these important pieces of our shared heritage.

Come and meet our PROTEST! team and get involved – drop in anytime between 11.00am and 3.00pm.

Research for older transgender men, women and non-binary people

Dr Blair Hamilton is a researcher at Manchester Metropolitan University.

They are interested in the bone and muscle health of older transgender people. They are transgender themselves, so they are pretty keen to see what their bone is going to be like when they age! 

They are running a focus group for older transgender men, women and non-binary people who have been on hormone treatment for a little while to see what challenges they face and how we can improve their healthcare.

If there are any participants who would be interested, please contact b.hamilton@mmu.ac.uk.
