COMMUNITY GUIDELINES

Southsea Girls offers a platform for you to meet like-minded people and enjoy new connections.

We are passionate about creating a platform for women to connect, make friendships and share lived experiences in a community setting, this includes topics regarding women’s issues.

A small guide for immaculate vibes:

The SG WhatsApp is for sharing support, stories, light-hearted chats, advice, and arranging ad-hoc meet-ups.

If you need specific support outside of this, we have a list of organisations and charities on our website, or you can visit https://hiveportsmouth.org.uk/hive-directory

Please be mindful that there are ladies within our community, with different backgrounds, professions, experiences, and reasons for wanting to connect with like-minded women. Topics that are fun for some might be offensive or triggering for others; please help us to keep SG a safe space for everyone by considering whether a message in our WhatsApp chat needs a trigger warning to allow people to opt-out if needed

SG welcomes women from the LGBTQIA+ community. Trans women are women.

It is totally normal that not everyone will click, but please always remember be kind. We are all about building women up, any negative behaviour will not be tolerated, and we reserve the right to remove people from the chat at any time.

Please be mindful, and respectful and stay safe when organising meet-ups with girls you have met within the Southsea Girls community, outside of the core events.

Most importantly - have fun! Enjoy this space, book onto events and be part of your local girl gang
