About us
Who we are
Established in 1999, Allsorts Youth Project is a Sussex-based charity that listens to, supports and connects children & young people (ages 5-25) who are lesbian, gay, bi, trans or exploring their sexual orientation and/or gender identity (LGBT+), and their families. With a view to seeing a world in which all LGBT+ children & young people are free to be themselves, we challenge exclusion, prejudice and discrimination in all areas of their lives with a three-pronged approach;
1. Youth Services: For LGBT+ children & young people, ages 5-25, including youth groups, one-to-one supports, fun work shops and activities.
2. Family Services: for parents/carers and the wider families of LGBT+ children & young people, including our Parents/Carers Group and One-to-One Support.
3. Training services to the wider community so that all spaces can be safer and more inclusive for all LGBT+ people.
Our culture and values
Our Vision
To see a world where LGBT+ children and young people are free to be themselves.
Our Mission
To listen to, connect and support lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and exploring (LGBT+) children, young people and their families through youth work, and challenge exclusion, prejudice and discrimination in all areas of their lives.
Equality, diversity and inclusion policy
As an employer, Allsorts provides mandatory training for our team in a wide range of areas surrounding diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB). We articulate clearly to staff, volunteers and trustees that we are building a culture that challenges and changes practices to ensure we are as accessible as possible to all LGBT+ people, and we encourage feedback on these topics across the project at all times.
