These are unthreatening events where members can practice socialising and discuss their problems. Some of the most amazing relationships have been formed. Outsiders was founded by Dr Tuppy Owens in 1979. It is run by a team of volunteers, most of whom are disabled. The Outsiders Trust is registered Charity Number 283350.
Outsiders welcomes donations and support.
Nearly all of its finance comes from The Leydig Trust which donates all the proceeds of the annual Sex Maniac's Ball and Erotic Awards. Our aim is to encourage creativity and honesty, especially to reward those who are not given full credit for their endeavours. Like them, we revere sexual expression. Their work is exhibited at the annual Sex Maniac's Ball and, where possible, performed on stage. This has become the centrepiece of what is probably the world's sexiest event, now in its 16th year.
