Niche Sports with Quadball and Floorball

We hear a lot about inclusive clubs being a haven for LGBTQIA+ people to go and be active, but is that easier to do in lesser spotlighted sports that don't garner the same attention, or have as long of a history? That's what we're discussing on this episode with quadball's Emma Humphrey (aka Jandels) and Sam Tulloch, with Perth Parrots Floorball Club founder Frazer Robertson in tow too. This event has been supported by the Year of Stories 2022 Community Stories Fund. This fund is being delivered in partnership between VisitScotland and Museums Galleries Scotland with support from National Lottery Heritage Fund thanks to National Lottery players.
