Save Breakout on the Isle of Wight!

Breakout Youth, a small Hampshire based charity, first came to the Isle of Wight in 2015 as part of the Youth Offer, where the charity provided the delivery of free and confidential fortnightly support groups for LGBTQ+ young people, in addition to one-to-one support and teacher training. Such services have provided an essential support network and a safe place for vulnerable and isolated LGBTQ+ young people, helping them to explore and resolve issues affecting their lives.

Following the news that there would be no Youth Offer funding after 31st March 2018, Breakout Youth have been working hard to seek new and additional funding. The Trustees of the charity will be using limited reserves to extend the support groups on the Isle of Wight for a further 2 months, however the fate of Breakout Youth on the Island looks bleak.

With this in mind, if you would like to support Breakout Youth and the future of LGBT services on the Isle of Wight, any donation would be greatly received!
