In partnership with Salford Council, Salford Youth Service runs a number of groups designed to be fun, supportive and safe places where they can make friends and connect with other LGBTQ+ people.

A council spokesperson said: “The groups are a great place to explore identity and expression, learn about LGBTQ+ history and culture, have fun with games, arts, campaigns, special guests, trips and more.”

The group will run every Tuesday from 5-8pm at The Castle, 31 Lewis St, Eccles, Salford, M30 0PU.
