ShOUT! LGBT Youth
Weekly social meetings for young LGBT people, to provide a fun and open social space. Similarly to Identity, they organise a first meeting with someone from the group before you attend a group meeting, so you can get a sense of what it’s like! Meetings for under-18s are Saturdays 12:00-1:30, for 18-25s on the first three Tuesdays of each month 7-8:30.
