Last week, Kyra's LGBTQ+ Group turned one!

To celebrate, we did what the group does best: got together, had a chat, and shared some cake.

Over the past 12 months, the group has become a space where LGBTQ+ women and non-binary people can meet others, make friends, get creative, share experiences, and simply be themselves. We've made fidget toys, knitted, coloured, visited Quiet Pride, marched at York Pride, started a q***r bookshelf, and drunk a truly impressive amount of tea.

At a time when many LGBTQ+ people are feeling anxious, uncertain, or under pressure, spaces like this are important. Everyone deserves somewhere they can feel welcome, supported, and understood without having to explain who they are.

A huge thank you to everyone who has come along over the past year and helped make the group what it is. We're very glad you're here.

What a day! 🌈

A huge thank you to everyone who marched, volunteered, stopped by our stall, said hello, picked up a leaflet, or came along to celebrate with us at York Pride!

For the first time, Kyra had a stall at Knavesmire alongside taking part in the parade, and we had such a lovely day meeting people, chatting about the LGBTQ+ Group, and connecting with the community.

Pride is always a special day, and we were proud to celebrate, support, and cheer on our LGBTQ+ members, staff, volunteers, and the wider community.

Thank you all for helping make it such a joyful day!

Just 3 weeks to go until we march at York Pride on Saturday May 30th!

We’ll be taking part in the parade and hosting a stall on the Knavesmire from 11am, so come along and say hi! We’d love to see you there.

We run a regular LGBTQ+ group at Kyra, and Pride always feels like a really lovely extension of that, a chance to celebrate, show up together, and be part of something bigger across the city.

If you’d like to join us for the parade, you’re more than welcome, just drop us an email at [email protected] for more details
