Pride Month

June is officially recognised as Pride Month by the LGBTQ+ community.

Throughout the month, many commemorations will be shared to shine a light on trailblazers and champions who strive to make a just society for us all.

YMCA aims to give voice to and meet the needs of young people in the communities we serve. We are committed to creating an equitable environment where young people can belong, contribute and thrive, enabling them to reach their potential. Discover how we do this below.

LGBTQ+ Projects

GoodVibes is an inclusive LGBTQ+ youth group, that supports young people between the ages of 11-25.

It provides a safe space that reduces feelings of loneliness and isolation. Young people can build peer friendships within a community so that they belong, contribute, and thrive. It is a group where young people can be surrounded by likeminded individuals in an environment that promotes respecting other people’s choices, citizenship, and cultural identity. It provides young people with the confidence to explore their own identity around people that really understand and care.
