LGBT+ Centre Rebuild
Campaign by The Proud Trust (RCN 1‌161102)
Manchester's LGBT+ Centre is the UK's only purpose-built centre of its kind. A lifeline to LGBT+ young people in the local area, we serve over 20,000 beneficiaries each year. By rebuilding, we will be able to more than triple our impact.

Story

For 30 years, Manchester's LGBT+ Centre has stood proud in Sidney Street, serving young people in desperate need of support and guidance.It's no exaggeration to say the Centre has saved lives - countless people have told us what a lifeline it has been. Over half of young LGBT+ children self-harm. Over two thirds have been bullied or experienced hate crime. "If we had no LGBT+ youth groups I don't know where I would be. I finally felt like I could go somewhere to be myself and be accepted."Hanna, aged 14 We currently help over 20,000 young people each year - but the Centre is run down and we are over capacity. We have developed ambitious plans to rebuild the centre which will enable us to more than triple the number of people benefiting from our services, and develop brand new specialist groups to help some of the most underrepresented young LGBT+ people.The organisation reserves the right to use any of the funding raised towards its general charitable purposes, not just capital
