The activity & social club for everyone in the LGBTQ+ community across Great Britain.

GOC is the oldest and largest outdoors club in the UK for everyone in the LGBTQI+ community, founded in 1974.

Our 2,000+ members enjoy over 500 events each year. Activities include walking, cycling, swimming, skiing, mountaineering, boating and camping, weekend and overseas trips, arts, culture, history and heritage, and social events.

GOC is a members club and a charity – no one is paid for their role in it, and no-one makes a profit from it. Every member is encouraged to play a part in running the club, perhaps by organising an event, by helping to run a group or by serving on the committee.

To many of our members, GOC is more than just a walking group – they have found enduring friendships and the opportunity to get out and do events that they otherwise wouldn’t have had the chance to.
