Youth Groups

We run social groups for LGBTQ+ young people age 13-30 across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. We also run online groups specifically for trans and non-binary, and disabled and neurodiverse young people. They are free to attend: if you’re LGBTQ+ (or questioning your gender or sexuality) and within the age range of the group, you’re welcome to come along.

Our social groups are safe and friendly sober spaces for you to get involved in fun activities, and make friends from the local LGBTQ+ community. We believe that you deserve to have a safe and encouraging space for you to be yourself!

Our youth workers and volunteers provide strong role models, peer support and a healthy community environment. Two groups are never the same, with a wide range of activities on offer such as games, crafts, cooking, and discussions about all things LGBTQ+.

Check the groups list above to find your nearest group, and join The Kite Trust to attend.

One-to-One Support

We provide free one-to-one support to LGBTQ+ young people (aged 30 or under) in Cambridgeshire, Peterborough and surrounding areas. Young people can book a call to speak to a youth worker about anything relating to gender or sexuality.

We have helped our service users through a huge variety of challenges in our support sessions. We can also signpost you to other specialist organisations who can help with other needs.

Our one-to-one support is delivered by a team of trained staff. Although not therapy, it provides a highly skilled practical approach to supporting you through challenges you may be facing.

Residentials

At our residentials, we offer LGBTQ+ young people an opportunity to deepen their connection to their community, learn new skills, and make lasting friendships.

Our trips are offered for different age ranges under 30. We often go camping or to a residential centre, and take part in adventurous activities, team-building games, skills workshops and campfires.

Young people have come away from previous events refreshed, inspired, encouraged, and supported by a new network of friends and allies.

Family Support

As well as supporting LGBTQ+ young people, we also provide services for parents, carers and wider family.

From a friendly chat with a youth worker about how to support your child, to getting to know other parent/carers in a support group, or to having fun as a whole family at one of our ‘Meet & Eat’ sessions – there’s lots of ways to get support!
