  • LETTERS TO DOWNING STREET

    THE PROUD TRUST YOUNG PEOPLE

    Due to a lack of support from our previous government for trans and non-binary people, following the general election the Proud Trust Youth Group wrote letters to the new Prime Minster and delivered them to the front door of No. 10 Downing Street. The letters addressed issues such as discrimination, mental health challenges and the need for comprehensive legal protection, in particular for trans and non-binary students.

  • HIV TESTING WEEK CAMPAIGN

    SEXPRESSION: UK

    This initiative aimed to raise awareness of HIV testing amongst young LGBTQ+ people given a recent poll found 40% are not learning enough and as a response to the increased rate of STIs amongst the LGBTQ+ community and in young people.  700 testing kits were handed out on 7 university campuses by 15 volunteers improving access to HIV testing. 

Entries for the 2026 Queer Student Awards will open later this year.
