Our Goal

To Support,  Empower  and  Inspire young members of the LGBTQI+ community and those around them.

The RYC was established to help young members of the LGBTQI+ community suffering with mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, loneliness and more.  By providing them with a safe space to come and ask for help, join a club or just make a friend, we hope to help them find a brighter path.  RYC Centres are free from judgement, prejudice, bullying or expectations, they are a place where every child is welcome.

Although the RYC was where initially founded as a service for LGBTQI+ children, as an inclusive service we never turn away a child in need, The RYC welcomes any child suffering with mental health issues, and we will do all we can to help.

By providing accessible activities, programmes and support services we aim to empower community members, provide essential resources, advocate for young LGBTQI+ rights, and embrace, promote and accept the diversity of all young people.

We are committed to building a strong and cohesive community that is safe for young LGBTQI+ members, free from prejudice and accepting of diversity. A community where every LGBT+ young person feels empowered, inspired and proud of who they are,

The RYC we offer support and encouragement to all young members of the LGBTQI+ community and their families.
