About Out of the Can

Out of the Can is an Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans (LGBT) Youth Group, for young people aged between 14-21 years old.

Who should come along?

The group is open to all to attend, come along if you need support, or just would like to feel comfortable with friends or to support a friend that is coming to terms with their sexuality.

Who are we?

The group has been running for last 5 years and meets up in Swindon Town Centre on a Tuesday Evening (there are plans to possible change this to a Saturday morning).  If you are interested in coming along then please email ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) or use the contact form for further information.

What do we do?
The group provides support to young people who are coming to terms with their sexuality whether they are LGBT or confused about it.

The group encourages the young people to talk to each other and share experiences, within a group environment and also, with close peers.  The discussion topics vary from week to week and it could be something in the news or a personal experience of someone.

We take part in a mixture of activities such as: watching DVD’s, playing games, talking about fun & serious stuff.

How do we do it?
The group has a relaxed environment and the main thing is that the young people feel secure.

We encourage the young people to get involved!! But if you don’t want to that is okay too. You can learn something new about yourself by just watching.

There are leaders each week at the group to speak to individually or with support from a friend.
