It Gets Better UK is a UK-wide LGBTQ+ charity and storytelling project. We envision a world where all LGBTQ+ youth are free to live equally and know their worthiness and power as individuals. We collect and share stories of personal experiences to help young or questioning LGBTQ+ people find create community, representation, and hope for the future.

Role

At Pride, we run stalls where people can share their story, a message to their younger self, or message of support. The conversations we have are uplifting and often emotional.

STOCKPORT PRIDE - SUN JULY 26
