Our 2025 festive thank you

Everything we do at LGBT Youth Scotland is made possible by our generous supporters.

As holidays approach and the cosy nights draw in, it’s time to reflect on another year working with LGBTQ+ young people. Even though 2025 has brought some challenges for the LGBTQ+ community, it’s also been a year full of pride and solidarity. We’re so proud of our young people, the amazing things they’ve achieved and the kindness they’ve spread this year.

All of this is made possible thanks to our generous supporters. So, we’d like to thank some of the wonderful organisations who’ve helped Scotland’s LGBTQ+ young people to flourish and thrive this year:
