Who are we??? and what we do
We are a young person (kinda) led LGBTQ+ action youth group aged between 13 – 19 years old; there are a couple of leaders to keep us in check each week. The group will give you the freedom to be yourself in a supportive environment and chilled out space.
The group has been running in Swindon since 2004.
We do lots of awesome stuff and activities, like:
- Debating (news stories / news from the LGBT community / social media);
- Film & Pizza Nights;
- Lazing about on the bean bags and chatting;
- Play games (Uno is very competitive);
- Table Tennis;
- Make colourful displays and posters;
- Arts and Craft projects
- Go to events like Swindon & Wiltshire Pride, School PSHE Events, College Fresher Fairs and events where young people can find out about us.
