Out Together LGBT

What Out Together LGBT does

Out Together LGBT is a registered charity (Charity Commission no. 1188461) operating exclusively in West Yorkshire, England, with a paid headcount of approximately 7 employees and a substantially volunteer-delivered service model. Its mission is to remove barriers that prevent LGBTQ+ people from building community and to raise LGBTQ+ visibility across generations, regions, and sectors. The organization serves LGBTQ+ individuals across West Yorkshire — including older LGBTQ+ people, rural communities under the "Out in the Country" initiative, individuals without digital access, LGBTQ+ professionals, and inclusive employers — through six physical hub locations in Leeds, Huddersfield, Bingley, Bradford, Hebden Bridge, and Todmorden.

Its core offerings are community-based services rather than a technology platform: physical hub gatherings (Coffee, Cake and Chat), intergenerational community groups, digital inclusion training, a telephone befriending line launched in March 2025 in partnership with Sky's Time to Care team, professional networking via Club Out Together, a policy-influence platform (Forum Out Together), an interactive map of inclusive employers (Flag in the Workplace), an online directory of inclusive businesses (OutTogether Spaces), and a Health Hub information resource. There is no proprietary technology stack; the organization uses standard digital tools for event management, communications, and community engagement.

The revenue model is non-commercial. Services are delivered free of charge to beneficiaries. Funding is generated through individual donations, corporate and personal sponsorship arrangements (Partners in Pride framework across health, housing, employment, community, and faith sectors), fundraising events such as the All Out Together Ball and Leeds 10K participation, and the Rainbow Lottery. The Sky partnership functions primarily as a co-delivery relationship rather than a cash anchor. Geographic scope is regional (West Yorkshire only), and revenue, financials, and trustee-level governance details are not publicly disclosed in the source material.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• The Proud Trust: Manchester-based LGBTQ+ youth charity running community groups, training, and policy work. Operates the same community-hub-plus-advocacy model as Out Together, focused on youth rather than a broader age mix.
• MindOut: LGBTQ+ mental health charity providing online support, peer support groups, and advocacy. Comparable via its peer support and community group model, narrower mental-health focus, and small charity scale similar to Out Together.
• Switchboard LGBT: National LGBTQ+ helpline providing telephone and digital support. Directly comparable to Out Together's befriending line service model, though Switchboard operates London-based and national rather than regionally.
• LGBT Foundation: Manchester-based LGBTQ+ charity providing helplines, community programmes, sexual health, and wellbeing services. Direct counterpart to Out Together's befriending line, community hubs, and digital inclusion work, but operating at a larger scale in a different region.

Broad incumbents

• Stonewall: The UK's largest LGBTQ+ rights charity and the dominant advocacy brand. Comparable because it serves the same LGBTQ+ community across advocacy, workplace inclusion (Diversity Champions), and community programmes, but at a national scale.
• Consortium: National umbrella body for LGBTQ+ voluntary and community sector organisations. Comparable as the membership/coordinating body for LGBT+ charities; Out Together's Forum Out Together policy-influence work plays in adjacent space.

Regional players

• Birmingham LGBT: Birmingham-based LGBTQ+ centre offering community groups, counselling, and training. Same multi-hub community-service model as Out Together but serving a different UK region with a more established footprint.
• Yorkshire MESMAC: Long-running Yorkshire-based LGBTQ+ and sexual health charity offering community groups, testing, and outreach. Most direct regional geographic peer to Out Together within West Yorkshire's broader catchment.

Emerging players

• Kaleidoscope Trust: UK-based LGBTQ+ rights charity focused on international and Commonwealth advocacy. Comparable advocacy and policy-influence positioning (Forum Out Together parallels), but operates at a national/international rather than regional remit.
• Naz and Matt Foundation: UK charity supporting LGBTQ+ Muslims and broader Muslim communities. Comparable community-facing education and advocacy model at a smaller charity scale, though focused on a specific intersectional niche.
