Our Pride Groups are lunchtime or after school clubs that provide a safe place for LGBT + and ally young people to meet, learn and get support. Pride Groups are social, educational and supportive. They help transform school culture by ensuring there is always a safe, inclusive place where LGBT+, questioning and ally pupils can be themselves. Join the Pride Groups programme for free now on our website.

We offer online, e-learning courses for teachers to help you understand how to make your school more LGBT + inclusive. Inclusion enables everyone to thrive - our research shows that even the mental health and wellbeing of straight pupils improves when teachers make their school LGBT+ inclusive.
