Just Like Us is the LGBT+ young people’s charity. We were founded for a simple reason: growing up LGBT+ is still unacceptably tough. We work with schools and young people across the UK to change this.

Our Ambassador Programme is a volunteering opportunity for LGBT+ young people aged 18-25 across the UK. We support them to use their voice in schools and in the media, to develop their skills and to find a sense of community.

Schools across the UK can also book a free talk from our ambassadors, LGBT+ young people aged 18-25. Visiting schools in person or through an online platform, they educate on LGBT+ terminology, share their experiences and talk about allyship.

School Diversity Week is our annual nationwide celebration of LGBT+ inclusion within education that takes place every June. Over 8,000 primary and secondary schools across the UK take part in an activity, no matter how big or small, to recognise their diverse community.

The Pride Groups programme aims to create safe and fun spaces for LGBT+ young people and their allies to come together and enjoy their time together at school. We support groups across the country by providing fortnightly educational resources, termly training and facilitate the sharing of best practice amongst a community of like minded educators.

Each of our programmes can be delivered in-person or remotely.

Our work has been recognised externally through a number of awards. These include winning Charity of the Year at the 2025 DIVA Awards and Metro Pride Awards.
