About us
At Allsorts, we value youth voice, empowerment, equality and inclusion. If you are like us, you believe that all children & young people should be supported and free to be themselves.
Who are Allsorts?
Allsorts Youth Project is a Sussex-based charity that listens to, supports & connects children & young people under 26 who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans or exploring their sexual orientation and/or gender identity (LGBT+), and their families.
Since 1999, we have challenged exclusion, prejudice and discrimination in all areas of LGBT+ children & young people's lives with a three-pronged approach:
- Youth Services for LGBT+ children & young people including youth groups, fun activities and one-to-one support
- Family support services for parents/carers and other family members of LGBT+ children & young people
- Training & Education to the wider community, so that all spaces can be safer and more inclusive for LGBT+ people
By donating to Allsorts, you are supporting LGBT+ children, young people and their families across Sussex, and helping provide opportunities to build confidence, community and reduce the isolation and impact of LGBT-phobia they often face.
Allsorts of Impact

In our most recent survey with 49 LGBT+ young people,
- 97% said that Allsorts groups had been of help to them
- 97% said that one-to-one support sessions had been of particular help to them
