So what is Support U?

Support U is a local charity that aims to provide a safe place for people to come and talk, ask questions and socialise with other LGBT people.

Support U was formed when it was becoming very obvious that with more and more people wanting to come out and wanting advice and information, that there was no central hub where people could walk in and get the support they needed. Though there are several LGBT groups in the Reading area there is no tight network of communication between them and they are often hard to access.

Support U already has the backing of all the groups in Reading, and our aim is to bring these strands of support together under one roof for everyone to call home.

Pulling together Reading’s LGBT resources is Support U’s first step so we can access the information we need to then show councils, funders and supporters in your area.

We need your help:
Please complete a Survey to say why you would like/support an LGBT centre in Reading and what facilities you would like to see/use. When you enter you also have the chance to win an iPod Shuffle.
