The Lowdown’s Out There Groups offer a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space.
We understand that it may feel difficult to find support. Many young people feel isolated and disconnected from social circles or even families and we want you to know that you are not alone.
The Lowdown’s LGBTQ+ Support Service runs youth groups and events for young people from School year 7, up to the age of 25.
We offer a safe, non-judgemental, inclusive and confidential space for you to attend as and when you like. It is a space designed to enable you to explore who you are, socialise, meet new friends, find your community, talk through difficulties with others who understand, whilst also having fun and joining in with activities.

If you’re nervous about coming to a group…
We understand that it can be incredibly nerve wracking to take that first step, so your parents are welcome to bring you along and drop you off if you wish. Alternatively, you could bring a friend who is supporting you.
Our group leaders will look after you, ensure you feel welcome, talk you through everything you need to know and are happy to answer any questions you may have.
For general queries about our LGBTQ+ Services:
Please ring The Lowdown on 01604 634385, or email: lgbtqsupport@thelowdownnorthampton.co.uk
“We know it can feel like a big step to take, but we’re here for you!”
