LGBTQ+ Support

If you are part of the LGBTQ+ community, if you are questioning your gender or sexuality, or if you have a friend or a student who needs support, then this page is for you.

On February we celebrate LGBTQ+ History Month, but we wish to continue supporting young people who identify as LGBTQ+, all year long. Listen to our YOLTalks! episode #2, to hear the experiences of Stephen (Healthwatch Kingston's Chief Officer) and Lydia (Chair of Kingston & Richmond's Youth Council), to find how to get help and to continue supporting LGBTQ+ rights.

Below is a list of services that you can contact if you need support, or you simply wish to join a group of like-minded young people who are part of the LGBTQ+ community.
