Young People Workshops

About the Sessions
Our workshops and assemblies for young people explore, in age-appropriate language, some of the critical issues and challenges experienced by children and young people who are Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer, or in the process of exploring their sexual orientation and/or gender identity (LGBT+). Together, we will examine how these issues may affect their emotional and social wellbeing.
Our aim is to leave students with;
A better understanding of the experiences of their LGBTQ+ peers
More confidence in being an ally to LGBTQ+ people
Knowledge about LGBTQ+phobic bullying and ways to stop it
How much time can you allocate to this session?
1 hour (highly recommended)
For young people workshops, we recommend around an hour. These sessions are tailored to the age group/learning level and provide all the information students will need to be an ally to their peers. If your school timetable is based on slightly shorter lessons, we can accommodate this as well. Our workshops are limited to 50 students per session and start at £195 per hour, plus travel.
Under 1 Hour (e.g assembly)
Assemblies can last up to 30 minutes, and pricing varies by location.
Assemblies and workshops cost £195 per hour plus travel. It may be more cost-effective for your school to buy our Annual Contract.

“I was so impressed by the way you created such a safe learning environment; you enabled the children to explore key learning about difference, identity, and LGBTQ+ identity and prejudice, as well as challenging assumptions and sharing personal experiences so meaningfully. It was a privilege to be a part of this learning”

How many hours are you able to allocate to the session(s)?
3 hours (highly recommended)
These are incredibly complex topics, for professionals we highly recommend 3 hour long sessions (with a break halfway through) so as to make sure all the topics are covered in detail. Shorter sessions can be accommodated, but there will be less time for valuable discussions and exploration.
How would you like this training to take place?
Online
Online training is perfect for any team who work remotely. We primarily use Zoom for our training (other video call platforms are available), and we require all participants to join from their own individual devices.
In person
In person training is the best option for any team who work in one location, and can be particularly engaging, with more space for individual discussions and less concerns about internet connections! Please note, we are based in the south-east of England. This may affect our ability to deliver in-person training.
Training starts at £195 per hour plus travel. If you are booking training on behalf of a school, it may be more cost-effective for your school to buy our Annual Contract.

Consultancy
Are you struggling to improve LGBTQ+ awareness, inclusion, and safety in your organisation?
Our LGBTQ+ Training and/or Trans Training covers key issues and leaves participants with deeper knowledge and greater confidence to support and be allies to LGBTQ+ people.
However, sometimes organisations have unique needs or face specific challenges that require more specialist support, additional time, and bespoke input from us. This may become apparent during our training sessions.
This is where specific consultancy can provide solutions tailored to your needs. Sessions can be:
with individuals, teams or whole organisations
In-person or by video/phone call
As little as a one-off hour, or a series of sessions across whatever timeframe we agree on
