Safe space for LGBTQ+ young people.
Do you identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer, Intersex, Pansexual, Asexual, Non-Binary or Questioning your sexual orientation and/or gender?
Flipside is a youth club for young people aged 11 to19 (up to 25 for people with SEN) who identify as LGBTQ+.
You don’t have to COME OUT to come IN.
If you want a space where you can be you, to express yourself freely and without judgement then Flipside is for you!
Ask the questions you want answers to, make friends, and explore what being LGBTQ+ means to you with an open and supportive group of people!
We have guests come and run workshops including creative writing, poetry, cooking, yoga and meditation, dance; LGBTQ+ people come and talk about their life experiences, we go on trips and outings: locally - bowling, cinema, mini golf, Broadway theatre, London - inc. taking part in Pride in London parade, galleries, museums, parks and further afield.
