What is Empower LGBT+?
The aim of the programme is for our LGBT+ community to be more active and feel stronger and more confident in their ability to succeed in sport and physical activity. The programme also aims to eliminate LGBT+ discrimination and help LGBT+ people feel they belong in Sheffield.
Who is it For?
The main beneficiary group for this project are LGBT+ young people aged 11-25 who live in Sheffield. Allies of the LGBT+ are also encouraged to get involved.
