GAPSTERS

Gapsters is a youth club for 9 - 14 year olds. They support young people questioning their sexuality/gender or identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender.

The club runs every Friday from 4pm to 5:30pm in the Clapham Junction area.

Due to the age range parental consent is mandatory for young people to be able to join. The venue will not be advertised to safeguard the group.

Comments from existing members

"If I had this resource at that age, I would have felt a lot less alienated and 'different' in my day to day life and would have felt more comfortable being myself around others and being open about who I am without fear of persecution"

"I was questioning my sexuality around this age period and having a group like Gap would have helped a lot of my insecurities at the time"

"I had nothing like Gap growing up and therefore felt along and was not able to meet others and get the support I needed to come out a gay and trans... The younger people get support the more likely to prevent mental health and increase their confidence and family/social life"
