2BU isn't just any youth support group, its a group where everyone plays a part and helps support each other and where it's okay 2BU!
Pronouns: They/them
My Role:
I first found 2BU as the parent of an LGBTQIA+ young person, and was so bowled over by the amazing work this wonderful group of people do, with such love and care, that I was instantly eager to be more involved!
Now I volunteer as a support worker, with a truly inspiring group of young people, and am excited for my future with 2BU.
As a queer person myself, who didn't have this kind of support in my youth, I'm grateful to be able to be a part of it now.
I am most proud of:
my growth as a person, and realising I can be exactly who I am, dress how I want, dye my hair bright pink and feel happier in my skin. And now I get to work with amazing young people and encourage them to be 100% themselves too.
My perfect holiday would be:
Honestly, as someone with mobility issues, it would be all inclusive, with the sun shining, a pool and a beach nearby, with my family. Languorous, warm, good company and good food!
My ultimate three course meal would be:
A hard decision! Calamari (with so much aioli that I smell of garlic for days!) steak, crème brûlée.
