SHOUT!
We are proud to run the only weekly LGBTQ+ youth group in Oxfordshire, called SHOUT! We respond to the unique and diverse needs of LGBTQ+ young people, providing a safe space for them to share their experiences, meet other LGBTQ+ young people, and access support. Our team are in a strong position to support these young people, having completed CPD courses in Supporting Trans, Non-Binary, and Gender Diverse Young People and LGBTQ+ Mental Health.
If you would like to join this group or signpost a young person, please email Justina at info@trainyouth.org.uk
Base Council
As young people are at the heart of what we do, we’re passionate about putting their voices at the heart of our decisions. Base Council is a system that enables us to put this into practice. It is a group of young people who meet regularly to share their thoughts on how TRAIN should develop. Base Council are also involved in the recruitment of new staff.
We are always on the lookout for more young people to join Base Council. If you are interested in being part of the team at TRAIN, please contact Justina on email info@trainyouth.org.uk
Trips
We run several trips throughout the year, designed to engage young people in positive activities and enhance their social connections. Some highlights have been climbing the O2 Arena in London, visiting Queer Britain for LGBTQ+ History Month, and going to Thorpe Park for Fright Night. We have also arranged residentials to France, giving young people the chance to travel abroad, acquire new skills, and broaden their worldview.
For information about our upcoming trips, follow us on social media or send us an email.
