Queer Futures Gloucestershire (formerly GayGlos youth) started in July 2012, rapidly growing to a membership which has run at between 30-40 young people at any one time.
It provides young LGBTQ+ people aged 14-18 with a sense of identity and belonging, helping them to grow in confidence, self-esteem and happiness, both within the group and in the other communities within which they function, ie home, school, locality.
In recent years sessions have included:
-

The group has also been on trips to:
-
‘Prides’ both in Gloucestershire and further afield
-
Annual Residential
-

-
Ice Skating
-
Meals Out Together
​
All of which have added to the variety of the programme.
Meetings are held fortnightly, on alternate Saturdays, throughout the year including through school holiday periods between 11:45 and 3
​
The programme of meetings is led by the needs and wishes of the young people themselves.
​
Young People can discuss their issues and share experiences and suggested ways of dealing with difficulties that arise in their lives, be that at home, in school or more widely.
