ABOUT US
OUR HISTORY
ABOUT OUT ROOTS
Blossom began in 2019 being run from the living rooms of inspired volunteers who wanted to change the way young LGBTQ+ people connected. Quickly we discovered the huge need for supportive spaces for LGBTQ+ young adults.
By 2021 Blossom made a name for itself as a progressive and forward-thinking community-led organisation. In the years to come our goal is to make our passion into careers allowing us to provide our vital services to all those who need us.
Before working with Blossom our members tell us that they felt confused, isolated, and withdrawn.
We make sure that they blossom... into authentic, knowledgeable & confident people.
This allows our members to find true happiness and gives them the power to build sturdy careers, meaningful relationships, and pride in who they are.
01
INCLUSIVE
We are kind-hearted and respectful of others. We know the people we work with are on learning journeys and empower that when it's done in the right way.
02
STRENGTH
We are proud of who we are. We understand & celebrate the strength that it takes to be an authentic individual.
03
COMMUNITY
We believe in the power of acting as one strong community. We operate with each other's interests and needs in mind.
OUR PURPOSE
Our purpose is to create events, activities, and safe places where young LGBTQ+ people, their friends, family, employers, and the wider community can understand it’s a beautiful thing to be proud of who you are.
SOCIALS
We know night life is a huge part of queer culture but we want more outside of that. We believe LGBTQ+ people deserve the right to exist just as openly in all spaces.
EXPRESSION
Queer culture and the arts have gone hand in hand for years. We want to encourage individuals to create healthy coping mechanisms through arts.
UPSKILLING
We know that the people we work with face prejudice in educational settings. We believe that anyone has the right to learn and better themselves.
CONNECTIONS
One of the most important thing in life is the people we're connected with yet statistically LGBTQ+ people are less likely to build like minded networks, we're changing that.
WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY
WE DO MORE THAN JUST GROUPS
