THE X2Y LGBT WOLVERHAMPTON YOUTH GROUP

We are a youth group for young gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people within Wolverhampton, the Black Country and the surrounding areas.

The group members are involved in various projects such as building and maintaining this website, which offers information and guidance on issues that effect young lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered people. We also organise activities and projects that offer opportunities to enhance self esteem and build lasting friendships. The group runs on Saturday’s 12pm – 3pm.

What kind of issues might be addressed within the group?

The issues that are addressed within the group are relevent to the members needs and include: mental health issues, general health and well being, sexual health and relationship, bullying, ‘coming out / coming in’, safety awareness, religion and sexuality etc.

How might this group help me?

It is the aim of the group to allow young lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered people to express themselves without fear or redicule, and to form lasting relationships that lessen the fellings of isolation and loneliness.

What happens each week?

A varied programme of events are organised and planned by the members allowing for activites such as; trips to the cinema, bowling, theatre, working on articles for the website, art, photography and creative writing. We are waiting for your innovative ideas.

How confidential is the group?

Confidentiality is considered extremely important within the group setting. It is hoped that agreement between all individuals will be made in order to maintain this.

Do I have to pay?

NO. This service is free to all young, gay, lesbian and transgendered people.
