Our Youth groups: Are for LGBT+ young people, and those questioning their gender or sexuality, aged 13 to 19 who live or spend time in Greater Manchester. It is a weekly group to provide a supportive space for LGBT+ young people to make friends, connect with their community, and explore a wide range of activities. The groups either meet online, or at The Proud Place, or a local venue depending on the group.
