It’s really supportive!

….When I first came I was a bit shy but after a few times, when you get to know the people that are around in x2y and you know they’re there to help you – it’s been a really good experience… x2y’s been a really useful group. …And it’s good that you know that everyone in the group is LGB or T, so it’s really supportive.

This group was vital for me

….The point of x2y isn’t to take in vulnerable young members of the LGBT community and keep them safe; while it does do that, it crucially gives them the tools to keep themselves safe, to deal with their issues, and to understand the wider community in which they find themselves.

That’s what it has done for me…

x2y is an invaluable service!

….x2y is an incredibly important organisation that benefits its members in a huge variety of ways. LGBT people face prejudice in society, and while this is improving, those people within x2y’s target age-range are particularly vulnerable, almost always belonging to wider institutions such as universities, colleges and, particularly, schools, where bullying is rife and particularly targeted at outsiders.

For these people, x2y is an invaluable service.

Thank you x2y!

….On reflection, one of the main benefits of x2y for me was being able to meet like-minded people in a safe environment – which was not a bar or club, or meeting people off the internet – which can be dangerous and risky for young people.

Thank you x2y!!!
