BeLonG To, Ireland’s national LGBT+ Youth Service, is delighted to share their 2022 Annual Report with you, highlighting the impact of their work supporting LGBTQ+ youth across Ireland.

Moninne Griffith, CEO of Belong To says:

“It’s been 20 years since BeLonGTo opened its doors as a youth service, providing a safe space for LGBTQ+ young people to find support and acceptance.  

Thanks to our supporters, our allies and our LGBTQ+ community  Belong To has grown to become Ireland’s leading national LGBTQ+ youth organisation.

There has been tremendous change in the past 20 years, as we expanded upon youth work to also provide support services, training, education, and advocacy. From reaching and supporting a record number of LGBTQ+ youth to building partnerships, producing research and effecting legislative change, we have a lot to be proud of.
