Story

Small steps, big difference - On February 25th 2022, people all over the country will be joining us to walk the outline of Scotland in just one day and help us raise £20,000!

At LGBT Youth Scotland we believe that an even better Scotland is possible and that, with your support, we can be here for even more LGBTI young people and make Scotland the best place for them to grow up.

As Scotland's national LGBTI youth work charity, we support thousands of young people every year, providing a lifeline of support and opportunities - through in-person and on-line youth groups and one-to-one support. We also work with schools and organisations through our LGBT Charter Programme to help them to proactively include LGBTI people in every aspect of their work and school. We rely on donations to keep these vital services going, and that's where you come in!

Named after the purple (spirit) stripe in the Rainbow Flag, Purple Friday is our annual fundraising day. It celebrates the spirit of the LGBTI community and harnesses the support of their allies. Allies like you! On Purple Friday we are asking you to join us, fundraise for our work and send a message to LGBTI young people all over Scotland that they are loved and supported.

Please support us if you can. Even a small donation will make a BIG difference to young people near you.
