#SpeakUp small grants 2018-19 - SAYiT

SAYiT provides support for young people aged 12-25 years old who identify as LGBT+ or affected by HIV. They used their #SpeakUp Grant to explore young people’s experiences of sex and relationships, health and puberty advice and education.

Our #SpeakUp small grants scheme awards funding to local community, voluntary, or not-for-profit groups, enabling them to engage with their communities about what matters to them. 

Recommendations from the report:

  • Health care providers’ forms to be trans inclusive
  • The need for informative and inclusive relationships and sex information/literature available and visible at GP’s surgeries, schools and hospitals
  • The need for all health care providers to receive LGBT+ inclusive education around relationship and sex education as well as puberty
  • The need for resources and information to be available for parents of trans children
  • The need and importance of non-binary health and puberty information and education
  • The development of a trans inclusive relationships and sex booklet and a health and puberty booklet
