SPACE LGBTQ+ Youth Group
SPACE is a safe environment that you can be yourself in and get information and support on LGBTQ+ issues. It is a chance to meet and make new friends. We chat, cook, have fun, play games, get involved with local community projects, raise awareness and celebrate key events on LGBTQ+ calendar we also invite guest speakers, go on trips and so much more!
The groups are all young person led so you tell us what you want in the sessions and we aim to make it happen!

SPACE TO BE
(For under 13s and their parents)
SPACE to Be provides a safe place for children under 13, who may be LGBTQ+, gender non-conforming, trans, questioning or unsure of their identity, to meet others, have fun and take part in activities.
Alongside SPACE to Be, there is a parents group run by and for parents to mutually support each other over a cup of tea.
Young people told us Space to Be is:
“The place I feel most able to be myself”
“Where I feel confident and happy”
Parents tell us:
“It was a relief to find…We were struggling to find support and it’s been life changing”
“As parents it’s a valuable source of support and friendship”.
We run SPACE to Be monthly on the 1st Saturday of every month 10:30am - 12:30pm, please get in touch to come along.
