Galop is proud to offer dedicated youth groups for young LGBTQ+ people living in the London Borough of Bexley. Whether you are looking for local LGBTQ+ community, seeking specific support as a trans and non-binary young person, or exploring your gender identity or sexuality, these groups provide a safer, non-judgmental space tailored to you.

Run directly by experienced LGBTQ+ group facilitators, our sessions are designed to help young Bexley residents build resilience, learn key coping skills and meet others in a welcoming environment.
