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 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. We have our biggest ever fundraising challenge - we want to re-build the LGBT+ Centre to more than double its size!

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. Last year we welcome 17,700 people through the Centre and it's Cafe. and we are home to 18 regular groups to meet here in a safe and inclusive, dry space. Right now though, our roof leaks, our back wall is falling down and we have no available space to meet growing demand.

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. Your donation will go directly to our re-build project! Thank you.

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.
