The International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia was founded in 2004. It aims to raise awareness of the challenges and discrimination facing people who identify as LGBT+. Further information is available on our understanding our communities page.
Recognising that LGBT+ individuals and communities still face barriers and challenges, within Plymouth there are several support organisations in the city which include:
Not Alone
Not Alone Plymouth provides support and advice for transgender and non-binary people in Plymouth. It has been set up to provide a safe place for sharing thoughts and feelings for those who need it.
The Intercom Trust
The Intercom Trust supports the LGBT+ community across the South West. They are currently running a monthly support and social group for members of the LGBT+ community in Plymouth which aims to reduce isolation amongst people who are over 50. View the Eventbrite website for more information and to join the group.
Out Youth Group Plymouth
Out Youth Group Plymouth provides a safe, friendly and welcoming environment for lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, trans, queer and questioning young people in Plymouth and the surrounding area. They aim to create opportunities where the young LGBT+ community can meet and make new friends, explore their identity, access support, build supportive networks, celebrate and have fun.
Pride in Plymouth
Pride In Plymouth is a non-profit Community Interest Company (CIC) that brings people and groups together to celebrate, promote the diversity and talent that exist within the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans (LGBT) communities in Plymouth. Pride in Plymouth is also a third-party hate crime reporting centre.
