Frequently Asked QuestionsFrequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to join?
Nothing. UEAPride is a peer support group, therefore we do not charge any membership fee and therefore we don't have an official member list like other societies. If you want to be kept up to date on all our goings on you can join our mailing list online.
Why the name "UEAPride" and not LGBT?
Whilst the umbrella term LGBT is widely used around the world, we feel that often sexuality and gender is a rather complex issue and some people feel forced to self define as something they are not. The term UEAPride was chosen to make the group more inclusive to everyone, rather than a group exclusively for LGBT students.
Who can take part?
We welcome all UEA Students and their friends to our events and services. You are not required to self-define as lesbian, gay, bisexual or trans to take part.
I really want to come to an event but I feel too shy to do so, what can I do?
First of all, many people can be shy about coming to a group like ours. Our team of welfare officers can chat to you or arrange a place to meet beforehand. Contact them at

What happens at lunch?
We are in the Hive every Wednesday lunchtime between 12 and 2pm (term time only), you can bring your lunch or grab a bite to eat from the selection in the Hive. We have magazines, books and dvds for you to borrow. It's also a chance to chill out, have a laugh and chat to people. Look out for a UEAPride banner.
