Youth group for LGBTQ people aged between 13 and 25 in Southwark

METRO Spark is a group for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, non-binary, queer and questioning young people in Southwark. We meet every Wednesday from 6-8pm.

It's a safe space to meet other LGBTQ young people, get support and have fun. We usually have snacks and hang out together. Sometimes we talk about identity, relationships and wellbeing. We have themed sessions on topics like mental health, hate crime and alcohol. We go to the cinema, Pride in London and UK Black Pride. We also organise the LGBTQ Youth Summit in Southwark.
