Proud 2 b Parents is an inclusive organisation for all routes to parenthood.

We are run by and deliver services for LGBT+ parents / carers to be, LGBT+ parents / carers and their children living in Greater Manchester (and the North West). We know how rare organisations like ours are so our ethos is: if you’re willing to travel we’re happy to welcome you!

We run a variety of services to meet the needs of LGBT+ parents & carers:

  • Mid-week meet-ups: for parents & carers who are off in the week

  • Monthly Get-Together: usually held on the fourth Sunday of the month at a soft play centre in Urmston

  • ‘Proud 2 b Me’: A youth group for young people aged 8 and over who have LGBT+ parents or carers

  • Meet-ups in the school holidays for families with children of all ages

  • 1-1 Bespoke Family Support

  • Digital Parent Support Sessions

  • Facebook group and What’s App groups for LGBT+ parents & carers

  • Seasonal family parties; at Easter, Halloween & Christmas

  • Family spaces at selected local Pride events

  • Training and consultancy to support and develop professionals’ understanding and awareness of the LGBT+ parent / carer community.

We also provide training and other services for any businesses, organisations, and professionals:
