We offer a range of workshops and groups for lesbians, gay men and bisexual people, which provide a rare opportunity to meet others in a non-commercial environment. We focus on different aspects of lgb life and personal development. Workshops are a chance to talk about your own experiences and hear about those of others. We aim for them to be safe, friendly and relaxed, with a mix of activities that allow people to participate in a way that’s right for them.
Our workshops are usually free and are provided by experienced, professional facilitators. They usually run over a weekend or eight evenings. Workshops include group discussions, information-giving and exercises you do on your own, in pairs or small groups. There will be a chance to learn skills and strategies for dealing with the issues discussed, and time to think about how to apply these in your life.

Some people are nervous or wary about going on a workshop, because it’s a new experience or because they think it might be a waste of time. Most people who come to our workshops find them valuable and many are surprised at how well they get to know the other participants in such a short space of time.

Vital Statistics
On July 25th, 2008 the UK’s National Gay Men’s Sex Survey, Vital Statistics, was launched, the twelfth annual survey of its kind. This is the largest annual survey of gay and bisexual men in the world. Last year over 10,000 men in the UK took part.
PACE is working with Sigma Research to undertake this Vital Survey and needs your help.
Ford Hickson, Senior Research Fellow at Sigma says:
‘The survey takes about 15 minutes to complete and taking part is an interesting and easy way to contribute to fewer HIV cases among gay men in the UK.
The survey is running throughout the summer of 2008 and these are the ways you can take part. Via a small A6 booklet (look out for posters) available at gay venues across the UK or by logging on to http://www.vitalstatistics.org.uk
The survey is completely anonymous
