NATHALIA
I’m a lucky woman with a Transgender experience who is able to get out and meet new (amazing) people in an environment that's engaging and safe to be myself and relearn some old skills.
ALYCE
I wish I had joined sooner!
I have never been much into sports, but I have branched out recently and was very fortunate to have found this group of wonderful people... a great experience overall!
EDUARDO
A great way to get to know the Perth community after moving here from Melbourne in 2019. A safe space for queer people to be themselves, have fun and go for delicious brunches after.
