Welcome to Space Youth Project, a safe space
for Dorset's LGBT+ youth!
Space runs regular, free youth groups all across Dorset, in Bournemouth, Poole, Dorchester, Weymouth, Beaminster, and Sherborne, for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and questioning young people. We welcome every LGBT+ person regardless of race, religion, or social background.
As well as offering one-to-one support, family support, workshops for schools, colleges and youth groups, and training for professionals.
We have been around since 2001, starting with one group based in Bournemouth. Over the years, Space has evolved. Space is now built up of six groups, a number of services, our lovely team, and of course, our members.
