Young people from Allsorts Youth Project and two workers, Emma Welsh and Richard Gladman, recently appeared live on BBC's Children In Need. This came after the Brighton-based LGBT youth group were awarded money from the BBC charity to cover the running costs for a mental health project, which will begin in January.
Emma Welsh, a youth support worker at Allsorts, says: "At Allsorts we want to promote positive mental health for LGBT young people to support them to express their emerging identities, their distresses and their hopes for the future. The money awarded from Children In Need will help us immensely in enabling us to do this."
A video was also shown in the southeast region part of the programme as well as Southeast Today, where several young people gave their personal testimonies surrounding homophobia and life living as an LGBT youth.
