We are LGBTQ+ Youth in Care
We are fully committed to the genuine acceptance of difference, and of the right for everyone to be who they are and who they wish to be.
We pioneer excellence on behalf of LGBTQ+ care experienced young people and strive to develop an ethos of tolerance, understanding and inclusive practice across all agencies working with looked after children and care leavers nationwide.
Our initiatives focus on impactful tools, resources, networking and actions that make a difference.
We are committed to sharing best practice with local authorities, schools and other children’s organisations, as we ourselves are open to learning from others.
Who we are
Established in 2013 by a group of individuals working in the care system who found there were no resources specific to supporting LGBTQ+ youth in care. SInce then, a lot has changed - but there is still further to go.
“What you do really could transform the life chances of someone who is trans and in care”
