Who We Are


Pyramid, formally LGBT Melton is a non-profit organisation that was set up in Melton Mowbray in response to the isolation and discrimination faced by LGBTQ+ youth in the area. Our service offers a youth group, one to one support, counselling, training for other professionals and education in the community. As well as supporting young people, Pyramid also supports the campaign against homophobia, transphobia, biphobia and all other forms of discrimination.


OUR STAFF


Our Youth Groups are run by volunteer youth workers. All are highly skilled and are trained to a high standard in order to provide safe, confidential advice and support to LGBTQ+ young people and their families. 


We have young volunteers/peer mentors who will be trained through our Figure 8 peer to peer mentoring programme  to allow them to offer the best support possible to our members.




Name Change


In September 2021 we sat down as a team with our service users to discuss the future of our service. After many lengthy discussions we made the decision to give of service a little facelift by way of a new logo and a new name. Following even more discussions we came up with the name Pyramid as it has a spiritual, historical and physical meaning of strength and support.  

Our services will not change and we will still offer a high quality professional level of support to our users.  


New 18+ LGBTQ+ Group 


Coming 2021/22  is our new 18+ social group for the LGBTQ+ community of Melton Mowbray, Charnwood and surrounding areas. The group is completely confidential and will be run at the same level of professionalism as our youth groups. Workers will be on hand to provide support, information and guidance. 

We we have professionals from partner agencies visiting to offer targeted advice on a regular basis. 

The group will be FREE of charge to attend.


2019/2020


The expansion of our youth support services into Charnwood with the opening of OITNR youth group in Mountsorrel for 11-16 year olds.  Held every  2nd  and  4th  Wednesday of  the  month

This session will be hosted at Sorrel Youth Cafe, Mountsorrel.


+

LGBT  Charnwood  for  11-16  year  olds  held  every  1st  and  3rd  Wednesday of  the  month  at  Fearon  Hall  in  Loughborough.


All  our  sessions  are  FREE  of  charge  and  when  available we  will  have  food  on  offer.


Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns that followed we unfortunately had to close our groups. We have continued to support young people, families and adults through the pandemic by way of virtual, telephone and socially distanced 1:1 support. 

We hope to get our face to face groups back up and running by the end of September 2021.
