"I've loved meeting new people and feeling included, coming from a small village there isn’t many LGBTQ+ people or activities. Youth Pride has helped me make new friends and feel less lonely.” - Youth Pride attendee
We work hard to ensure all of our young people feel seen, safe, supported and comfortable at our events. Youth Pride MCR is a fantastic opportunity for like-minded young people to come together and express themselves authentically in a welcoming and nurturing environment designed to build confidence, encourage new connections and offer young people a safe space to thrive. We asked some of our Youth Pride MCR members what they enjoyed most about our events - check out what they had to say!
“It’s been an amazing experience and has made me come out of my shell a lot! Alex and Jana have given me lots of confidence to be who I want to be and not be ashamed.” - Youth Pride attendee
