Previous member 'I am just emailing to say thank you. I came a couple of years ago. But it made such a huge difference in my life. You have created such a beautiful safe space for LGBT+ youth and it makes such a difference. It helped me so much in the few times I went, just being in a room of people who understood each other'.
