West Lothian Pride was great fun.
Socks and Nari had a creative stall at the youth space and chatted to around 97 young people whilst they were there.
Lots of people got involved in in creating a Happy Pride Banner which the archive in West Lothian would like for their collection.
Looking forward to next year already.

What a day at Lochaber Pride! We had an amazing time getting to know the LGBTQ+ community around Fort William and finding out what it’s like being a young person in Lochaber. We can’t wait to see what comes next!
As we approached four years since our lovely volunteer Lou started volunteering with us the young people were keen to do something special to celebrate so we went on a picnic. Everyone brought some food to share and one of our young people even made homemade orange lemonade which was very much appreciated in the hot weather. We shared some of our favourite memories of Lou’s time as a volunteer and they shared that four years as a volunteer is the longest they’ve ever stuck at anything!

Our GLOW group recently ran a ‘Special Interest Night’ where young people either prepared a PowerPoint on a special interest or brought something in to share with the group. We had a huge range of topics including Chickens, DnD dice, Formula 1 cars, Book binding, Military headwear and sloths. Everyone really enjoyed learning about everyone else’s interests and getting to knew each other better!
