The Proud Trust

The Proud Trust is a charity with a lot of history. Its roots can be traced back to Waterloo Place, Manchester, in the 1970s where an organisation called the Gay Youth Group first began its meetings.

The name of the organisation sends a clear message: To let young people of the LGBTI+ community know that they can be proud of their identity, without fear or shame.

The Proud Trust provides essential services, including youth groups, peer support, mentoring programmes and a free, online instant messaging service.

BeLonG To

The aim of BeLonG To is simple: Help create a world where LGBTI+ young people feel are equal, safe, and valued in the diversity of their identities and experiences.

Advocating for and campaigning on behalf of LGBTI+ youth became a core mission for BeLonG To since their formation in 2003. The organisation now focuses on providing, mental health, sexual health and drug and alcohol support.

The group offers educational courses, support groups and counselling services.
