PROJECT

Change Up LGBTQ+

PURPOSE

To promote healthy relationships among LGBTQ+ young people

FUNDING

Around £10,000 from National Lottery Awards for All

BACKGROUND

In 2014, Salford Clinical Commissioning Group commissioned social marketing organisation Social Sense to deliver Change Up, a pilot project aimed at promoting healthy relationships among young people. As the project progressed it became clear LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer or questioning and others) young people were missing out when it came to work around domestic violence and abuse. Social Sense decided to launch Change Up LGBTQ+ to fill this gap. The project was designed by Social Sense with input from the Proud Trust, the LGBT Foundation, Salford Youth Services and the University of Sheffield.
