Successful funding bids for GYRO

August 27, 2020

Our GYRO team have been successful in funding bids from LCR Pride that will enable the team to create new video resources detailing some trans youth narratives. It is important that the voices of trans youth are heard when so many opinions on them do not involve their voices. We hope these resources will inform CAMHS and other professionals through our training and awareness raising sessions.

GYRO was also successful in securing funding form LCR Pride to enable us to provide more swimming sessions for LGBTQ+ young people. It means we can break down barriers to engagement in healthy activities once the pools open and it’s safe to get back in them again! Can’t wait!

Amazing, thank you for the information and support. It's a scary world being a parent to a child with ASD but now I feel there is light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Such a lovely, friendly team. Thank you.

I worked with Emily. I enjoyed talking about what's going on in my life whilst it is being fun, it's never 'there's something wrong', it's always 'how do we help you' which I like. Emily is amazing, she's helped me so much and she's just a lovely person!!!

YPAS was the first organisation that took me in and also the quickest, Sonia helped me get through a very difficult stage in my life and has bettered me as a person. I feel better equipped to deal with situations in life and my mental health has improved overall because of it.

My son has loved coming to sessions each week with Lisa. He has calmed down a lot. This has been a fantastic service with people who genuinely care. Thank you, Lisa!

I felt progression and I found my strength and resilience through the sessions. I am proud of myself for staying strong and showing my commitment through the past months of my sessions. I also gained a handful of coping strategies and I maintained my balance by controlling my worries.
