Just Like Us | LGBT+ charity for young people

Just Like Us is the charity

for LGBT+ young people

Empowering them from the

classroom to their careers

is our purpose

Black LGBT+ young people’s mental health particularly impacted by pandemic

LGBT+ young people twice as likely to feel lonely and worry daily about mental health than peers

LGBT+ History Month: Free resources for educators and parents now available

We are continuing to support LGBT+ young people, and work with schools and colleges throughout coronavirus.

What does Just Like Us do?

We recruit LGBT+ young people aged 18–25 and partner with prestigious employers to train them to be school role models and LGBT+ workplace leaders

We send our volunteers into schools to champion LGBT+ equality, we support schools to run LGBT+ and ally groups, and we organise a national campaign, School Diversity Week

We help schools meet the requirements of the Equality Act and Ofsted’s Personal Development, Welfare and Behaviour framework

“Just Like Us’s workshop was one of the highlights of the year for our students. It challenged the students’ thinking and opinions in an open, honest and supportive way. The programme is fantastic value and is now becoming a permanent fixture.”
