"This was a way of making sure that it was clear to students that they had a place to be, an inclusive space to feel sage and welcoming and to form alliances and friends."

Until 30 September we are recruiting new schools and Youthreach centres to take part in the LGBTQ+ Quality Mark initiative, providing a comprehensive approach to promoting wellbeing and inclusion for LGBTQ+ young people.

Sometimes, it can be hard to make sense of our feelings and our struggles can make us feel isolated and alone.

This year for our Better Out Than In campaign we're focusing on starting the conversation, because speaking aloud can help you understand your thoughts and feelings more clearly.

If you’re struggling, support is available at belongto.org/boti or by following the link in bio 🔗

Here's a look back at some of what we've been up to lately!

🌈 We brought a group of 5 young people to the annual Pride Youth Games, which took place in Lancaster. Pride Youth Games offers LGBTQ+ young people an opportunity to get together, have fun, find a community and experience sport in a safe and inclusive environment. Some LGBTQ+ young people may have previously suffered negative experiences when taking part in sports, so it is always one of the highlights of our year.
🌈 Belong To staff and volunteers were delighted to join Amach LGBT Galway and LGBT Youth - shOUT! Galway at a sunny Galway Pride on Saturday with a great turn out of support in the west!
🌈 Edel (she/her) attended the YAP Ireland Ireland national event in Croke Park, all about encouraging young people to speak up and use their voices.
🌈 One of our wonderful youth engagement volunteers, Anna, attended World Pride in Amsterdam and brough a Belong To t-shirt along to represent our work!
🌈 We've had another fantastic week of the summer project with some great outings and activities including laser tag, adventure rooms, and sewing workshops!
