Allsorts Youth Project
There are a number of ways that Allsorts Youth Project support young people:
- They facilitate age-appropriate workshops and activities that are fun, interactive and often aim to promote positive mental health and wellbeing.
- Provide safe spaces for young people to develop friendships with their peers.
- Through their advocacy service, they support young people who are 16 to understand their rights should they ever face discrimination or issues as a result of their LGBT identity.
- Support young people to feel more at ease with their gender identity, and sexual orientation and in exploring and understanding who they are.
- Provide specialist LGBT youth support and education in schools, colleges and other youth settings, with the aim to positively promote LGBT awareness and inclusion.
- Support young people to engage with mainstream services that range from careers advice to counselling and more.
- Provide young people with positive LGBT role models of varying ages, ethnicities, faiths, backgrounds and abilities. This develops cross-generational understanding and a better sense of community history and diverse representation.
