We work to support our LGBT+ community, but we extend that support to Friends and Family.

Every story is different. For some it can be a confusing time when someone you know 'comes out'. Perhaps you need support processing your own thoughts and emotions, or maybe some advice about next steps or how best to be a supportive ally. You may have questions you are too afraid to ask, or maybe you just want to vent concerns, or celebrate changes. We are here to offer a safe space and a non-judgemental ear.

Our Talk-it-Out Therapy is also available to you, and can also be accessed jointly as a couple, or as a family group.

We hold a relaxed LGBT+ parent/carers monthly drop in for adult family members (parents/carers/grandparents/aunties/uncles/unties/etc) to come and join for a cuppa and a chat. These take place 4 weekly on Fridays between 6-9pm, with the aim of offering a safe social space to talk. We can also help signpost you to some of our services, or advise of those on offer at other organisations. Contact us at info@outreachcumbria.co.uk for more information or to find out the next drop in date.
