Impact

We are Cardiff's LGBTQ+ youth group, providing a safe space for lesbian, gay, bi, trans, queer or questioning young people, or any who fall under the LGBTQ+ umbrella, to come and be themselves, find support and make friends!

We run 52 weeks a year, and providing support through an online platform outside of group hours. Our focus is supporting and empowering queer youth to live their full potential, and make friends along the way!

Why support us?

We are the only LGBTQ+ youth group in Cardiff, providing support and a safe space for our LGBTQ+ youth to be themselves. We support our members with issues ranging from coming out, to school worries, to issues around housing, homelessness, mental health and so much more.
We run two spaces, one for young people ages 11-18, and another for those 16-25. Providing two spaces gives us the opportunity to tailor our support and activities, and make sure we are meeting the needs of all our members.
Our group is free to attend, though we ask those who can afford it for a £1 a week donation to help keep us running. The more we can fundraise through Localgiving and other platforms, the less we can rely on membership fees, and the more activities and support we can provide.

What your donation does
Any money raised goes directly to supporting our members - whether its organising activities or workshops to help build their confidence, knowledge or experiences, arranging fun activities for them to enjoy, or providing training for our staff and volunteers so we can better support our members.

Feedback
This is what our members have to say about Impact:
"I am more confident to be me now"
"If it wasn't for you, I don't know where I would be"
"It's so nice knowing there are other people going through this too at my age"
