As we hope you now know, the Holywood Trust has been working towards achieving the LGBT Charter this year and efforts are being made to make the Trust a visible safe space for LGBTQ+ young people.

At the Trust, we believe it's now more important than ever to make our inclusion of and support for LGBTQ+ young people apparent. The Trust has regularly funded LGBTQ+ organisations and young people, as well as platformed their voices.

However, we know there is always room to grow - and more young people to talk to! This Pride Month, we want to shout about what young people in local LGBTQ+ communities are doing. If you're an organisation supporting LGBTQ+ young people, or a young person yourself and would like to get in touch - either to share your opinion of our efforts or to ask us to share YOUR accomplishments and efforts towards inclusion - send us a DM! We would love to hear what you have to say. (Please note, we understand the current climate can feel hostile, so are happy to anonymise anything we share at your request.)
