Lesbian and Gay Youth Manchester (LGYM) is a Lesbian, Gay & Bisexual (LGB) Project based in the city centre for LGB's aged 14 to 25.

We provide a safe space for LGB's young people to feel safe and at ease in. We also provide a variety of activities for young LGB's to take part. These include outdoor activities such as rock climbing, canoeing, cycling and walking. We also do arts and craft based work, for example banner making for Europride, environmental art and painting.

We try to arrange residentials at least three times a year. Our last major residential was to Dublin in Southern Ireland.

We also have strong links to other organisations both LGB and non LGB so there opportunities to do even more than what is on offer at LGYM. Young people also have a big say in activities that go on during group time.

Oh Yes... and Membership to LGYM is also free!
