Mission Statement

Allsorts Youth Project supports and empowers lesbian, gay, bisexual and  trans young people to take a lead in raising awareness of homophobia, biphobia and transphobia and challenge prejudice and discrimination in all areas of young people’s lives.

We asked our young people to let us know what words spring to mind when they think of Allsorts.  The word cloud above shows what they came up with.
