Hey there Young People


​​If you’re a QTIPOC young person and would like to know more about how you can get involved in our events and activities, you can get in contact with us via email here. Our work generally is for young people aged 16-25 but if you are a young person aged between 14 - 16, there is opportunity for you to get involved too, as long as you are engaging with the support of your local youth worker or youth group. You can also follow our social media pages for news, information and affirmations specifically for young people.  @coloursyouthuk
