Every year, thousands of LGBT+ young people grow up feeling isolated and alone just because of who they are. Last year, Stonewall sent more than 50 LGBT role models to visit schools across the UK to share their personal stories with thousands of students and teachers. This is obviously very important as no young person should feel secluded and alone. Young people also need inspiration in order to achieve their dreams. They also need hope that they can have success despite the LGBT+ discrimination and bullying. Just knowing that they are not alone can make a big difference. I'm doing the Equality Walk, during my busy masters degree exam period, to help Stonewall send even more role models into schools to inspire young people right across the country.

I'm also raising funds for Step Forward, using this page. Step Forward is a local charity of which I'm deeply fond as it has helped me and several friends. It provides a safe and welcoming space for young people to talk and get the support they need, when they need it. The services are free, confidential, accessible to all and continually evolving to ensure they are always relevant and responsive.

The Step Out Project at Step Forward is a free and confidential fun and dynamic service for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered young people and those questioning their sexual and/or gender identity.Step Out provides a friendly and safe space for LGBTQ young people to explore, learn, discuss and socialise. Access to 1-2-1 support is also available.
