Young people from Tameside Youth Services LGBT Out Loud youth group recently won a residential for their group through participation in the ‘Team Together’ challenge event at the launch of an inspiring new youth organisation. Tameside Out Loud has been established for three years, it is a service for all young people age 14-21 across Tameside who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. The service offers one to one support and a weekly group session where young people have the opportunity to take part in wide ranging activities.
The group worked with Youth Discovery Ventures, a new third sector organisation who deliver innovative projects to raise the aspirations of young people. Over four weeks the young people explored the theme of equality and diversity through creative arts and photography.
Their work was then featured in an exciting exhibition, performance and celebration event that took place at the Zion Arts Centre in Manchester on 26th/ 27th June 2009. At the event Tameside Out Loud competed against other youth projects from across the Northwest to complete a number of team challenges, judged around some of Youth Discovery Ventures core values of Activism, Respect and Leadership.
