The Proud Trust Home of LGBT Youth

The Proud Trust is a life-saving and life-enhancing charity supporting lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people. Our home is the LGBT+ Centre Manchester but our work has a national reach. We provide direct LGBT+ youth groups, manage the LGBT+ Centre, offer training, education and resources and work closely with regional and national partners to make things better for LGBT young people.

Why the community needs us

We help save lives of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans young people through our services, advocacy and support. We give people a safe space to come to where they can be themselves and escape homo/bi/trans-phobia. We provide volunteering and leadership opportunities e.g. young people trained to help other young people learn or get support. We train young and older people in LGBT+ awareness so that they can help friends or family who are LGBT+ and they can celebrate diversity.

Our impact on the community

We work with LGBT+ people to make things better in the places that they live, work, study, play and pray. We regularly see people improve their confidence, build supportive friendships, access to inclusive training and education, and create new lives as 'out and proud' individuals. The LGBT+ Centre is a port in a storm for many people. It is a point of access for many fleeing discrimination and in need of care and support. Last year we welcome 17,700 people through the Centre and it's Cafe.

Volunteers needed

We are looking for volunteers from BAME communities who are preferably LGBT! We are looking for people interested in work behind the scenes e.g. fundraisers, accounts, marketing materials.
