Burnout isn’t a personal failure - it is often a very natural response to long-term pressure, discrimination, caring responsibilities, community work, and the feeling that the need around us is endless.

In 2026 we’re running two free 6-week Burnout Prevention Courses (15 places each): one for the wider LGBTQ+ community and one for the trans & non-binary community.

Sessions run 6:30–8:30pm online via Zoom with a final in-person closing session at The Social Hub (Glasgow)with food provided.

We’ll share accessible slides + printable prompts, and we can offer travel support (up to a day bus pass in Glasgow) for those who need it.

DATES:

- Trans & non-binary: Zoom from Tue 22 Sept (weekly x6) + closing Tue 24 Nov

- LGBTQ+: Zoom from Thu 24 Sept (weekly x6) + closing Thu 26 Nov

You can apply through link in bio and applications close Sunday 6th October and everyone will be emailed by Tuesday 8th October.

We did it - we hit our £5,000 fundraising target with your help! 🥳

We’re so excited to share that the LGBTQ+ Changemaker and Leadership Programme 2026 is officially underway - today.

A HUGE heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped us raise the £5,000 we needed to make this programme possible. Your support has directly created space for LGBTQ+ leaders to grow, connect, and strengthen the work they are doing in their communities. Your support has been invested into LGBTQ+ leaders of the future and we couldn’t feel more grateful to you all.

This cohort is made up of 16 LGBTQ+ changemakers who are building, leading, organising, and creating in so many different ways. Over the coming months we’ll be exploring q***r leadership, values, power, courage, rest, community, and how we keep making change in difficult times, while staying connected and resourced.

We will be sharing our learnings with you as we go and can’t wait to introduce them all to you individually over the coming weeks and months.
