QCon is our National Queer Women’s Sexual Health & Wellbeing Conference. This is taking place this year, 13^th and 14^th September 2025. It has been a brilliant event, run twice before in 2021 and 2023.

QCon brings together activists, healthcare professionals, researchers, and community members to discuss critical issues around queer sexual health, mental wellness, and inclusive healthcare practices. The conference aims to foster education, advocacy, and connection through workshops, panels, and keynote sessions focused on empowering queer individuals and improving access to affirming care. This event is rooted in queer joy and connection. To hear more about it, please contact info@linqireland.ie.

LINQ Ireland staff offer one to one support in person, on zoom or over the phone for anyone navigating challenges. Our one-to-one support is a great way to become acquainted with the service if you’re new to the community or simply if you would like to chat about other challenges or issues in a more private space. One-to-one sessions can simply be a space to talk, and find out more about LINQ Ireland or to be sign-posted to other relevant resources or services.

Our online peer support holds space for discussions related to coming out and the general challenges that can arise from being part of the LGBTI+ community in a homophobic society. Our subsidised counselling service offers the benefits of accessible and affordable therapy with counsellors who have experience working with LGBTI+ people. 6 subsidised sessions are available for each community member. If you would like to book a one-to-one session, avail of peer support or subsidised counselling, you can get in touch with the LINQ Ireland team at info@linqireland.ie.

Events and resources relating to sexual health and wellbeing are an important part of LINQ Ireland’s health plan. We have developed Sexual Health & Wellbeing for LBQ Women as well as hosting events throughout the year that address the specific sexual health needs of LBQ women. We have partnered with the National Screening Service on the report LGBTI+ Experiences of Cervical Screening.

Our physical health programme aims to keep our community active, well and connected. Past and current programmes include soccer, swimming, boxing, walking, couch to 5k, Pilates, and yoga with a blend of online and in person relevant to the particular needs of each group. Many of our courses run for a 6 to 8 weeks, while others run seasonally. While the initial focus of these groups is health and fitness, we also acknowledge and place great emphasis on the social and emotional benefits of inclusion in sport and physical activity. Our physical activity groups are open to community members of all ages and abilities.

The team here are acutely aware of the exclusion and isolation felt by many people in our community, that is why we make every effort to keep social and emotional wellbeing at the heart of our activities. Building social support outside of your family or community of origin can contribute immensely to happiness, fulfilment and a sense of belonging. We run social events throughout the year as well as monthly and weekly activity groups to keep you connected. LINQ Ireland hosts a monthly book club, weekly drama, seasonal parties and outings, multiple Pride celebrations and our drop-in service which operates four days a week. There are also monthly online options through our peer support programme and other online events throughout the year to help keep you connected.

Throughout the year LINQ Ireland hosts numerous workshops and standalone events through our health programme and our community education programme; from sustainability to mindfulness, art and creativity to DIY. Check out the LINQ Ireland newsletter, our social media platforms or get in touch to find out what workshops are planned for the coming months.

In order to facilitate this service, the LINQ Ireland team engages with fundraising opportunities throughout the year. If you, your organisation/business or someone you know is interested in supporting this vital service, we invite you to get in touch via info@linqireland.ie
