Last year, I became a board member for The Proud Trust - a Manchester-based charity doing crucial work to support LGBTQ+ young people across the country.

This month, for Pride, I am supporting their 'Time To Be Proud' campaign, raising funds to provide 1500 hours of vital support for LGBTQ+ young people. Please consider donating if you can:

🏳️‍🌈 £30 funds 1 hour of 1-2-1 support which can help show an LGBTQ+ young person that they're not alone.

🏳️‍⚧️ £60 funds a free LGBTQ+ youth group so LGBTQ+ young people can make friends and have a sense on belonging.

🏳️‍⚧️ £300 funds 10 hours with a Proud Mentor so LGBTQ+ young people can navigate challenges and make future plans.

The Proud Trust is raising £45,000+ so that LGBTQ+ young people can continue to have free access to specialist youth work and support services. Our aim is to fund a minimum of 1,500 hours of support, enabling LGBTQ+ young people to thrive and achieve their full potential, because we believe all LGBTQ+ young people deserve to live happy, fulfilling lives.

Why The Proud Trust is so important...

When LGBTQ+ young people’s rights are under threat, it’s more important than ever to give them the support they need to thrive, find community and advocate for themselves.

The Proud Trust’s top priority is improving the lives of LGBTQ+ young people. Through our regional youth work and national support services, we empower LGBTQ+ young people and the adults in their lives to create positive change for the future. We won’t stop until true equality is a reality for all LGBTQ+ young people.
