Youth Groups

Metro Youth runs a wide range of different groups across South East London. They’re a great place for you to meet other lesbian, gay, or bisexual people your own age. We offer fun activities like video afternoons, creative sessions, trips up town, workshops, and discussions. You can listen to music, make new friends, talk about stuff you’re going through, and get advice or information on a range of issues.

Tribe -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Being LGB and under 16 isn’t always easy. As well as the usual pressures of growing up, bullying at school can be an additional hassle. Plus so much of being LGB seems to focus on the commercial gay scene, which can seem almost out of reach when you’re underage.

If you’re under 16 and would like to meet people who are or think they might be LGB, as well as have fun and be accepted for who you are, then Tribe could be for you!

Tribe meets on the 1st & 3rd Saturday of each month at The Metro Centre from 2 – 5pm. For more info, call 07980 633 945 or email Youth

Chillin Out -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chillin’ Out meets every Sunday afternoon from 2 – 5 pm at The Metro Centre, and is for people aged 16 to 25 who are or think they may be lesbian, gay or bisexual. As the name suggests, it’s safe space for you to relax, listen to music, play pool, and meet people.
For more information, please call 020 8305 5000 or email Youth

SNAP ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SNAP is based in Bromley and is similar to Chillin’ Out. The group is also for people aged 16 to 25 and meets on Thursday evenings from 6.30 – 9.30 pm.

In addition to the youth groups we run, Metro Youth also offers JUST OUT, a short course for young LGB people coming to terms with their sexuality. This periodical "coming out" course covers the kind of things that people want to know when they first come to terms with being LGB, including parents and friends, how to handle homophobia, sex and relationships, and building confidence and self-esteem.
