The Peer Support Project is a group of young LGBT+ people who have been trained to offer support to other LGBT+ young people. We can chat online, over the phone or meet up face-to- face. Support includes active listening, signposting, goal setting and wellbeing activities. We can also support people to access our youth groups.

Peer Support is flexible to work around how and when you need it.

Peer Support can take place online or face-to- face. Meet ups will be arranged for a location that works for everyone. This is usually meeting up at one of our youth groups, at the LGBT+ Centre, at school/college or at a local cafe.

If you want to be paired up with a Peer Supporter, or you work with a young person who would like to be paired up with a Peer Supporter, then get in touch.
