Blossom LGBT CIC has an amazing team that supports us in our mission to provide safe social spaces for LGBTQ+ young adults to feel protected, part of a community, and learn key life skills that will support them in their everyday life.

Our team is run entirely by volunteers who work all year round on everyday projects including our social groups, workshops, fundraisers, delivering Ally and supporters sessions, and many other projects all with the aim to ensure Blossom is consistently able to connect with our community and celebrate our QUEERNESS.

We’re a diverse bunch!

• Over 50% of our team identify as ‘trans and non-binary’.
• Just under 95% of our team identifies as a ‘minoritised gender’.
• Just under 40% of our team identify as having an ‘additional accessibility need’.
• 25% of our team identify as being an ‘older LGBTQ+ person’.
• 30% of our team are from White European countries outside of England

We acknowledge that Blossom LGBT CIC needs to increase the representation of Black and Asian LGBTQ+ people within our team. We take active steps to ensure we create a race-equitable volunteering experience.

We also want to use this space to show our respect and remember Chiara De Lucia. Chiara was part of Blossom’s original volunteer team who unfortunately passed away at the age of 28 years old. Chiara was a feminist, environmental activist, and LGBTQ+ person. All our love Chiara, this is for you.
