When the New Year rolls around, it can be easy to pick resolutions that centre on restriction – less sugar, less fat, less drinking, etc. However, there is something much more fulfilling about taking up or learning something creative and new. From learning valuable skills to making like-minded friends, there are so many advantages to new hobbies. So, with that in mind, we have put together 11 LGBT+ inclusive groups to help you become a more creative person.

Support GCN
GCN has been a vital, free-of-charge information service for Ireland’s LGBTQ+ community since 1988.
During this global COVID pandemic, we like many other organisations have been impacted greatly in the way we can do business and produce. This means a temporary pause to our print publication and live events and so now more than ever we need your help to continue providing this community resource digitally.
GCN is a registered charity with a not-for-profit business model and we need your support. If you value having an independent LGBTQ+ media in Ireland, you can help from as little as €1.99 per month. Support Ireland’s free, independent LGBTQ+ media.
