We are delighted to share our 2022 Annual Report, highlighting the impact of our work supporting LGBTQ+ youth across Ireland.

It’s been 20 years since Belong To opened its doors as a youth service, providing a safe space for LGBTQ+ young people to find support and acceptance.  

Thanks to you - our supporters, our allies and our LGBTQ+ community - Belong To has grown to become Ireland's leading national LGBTQ+ youth organisation.

There has been tremendous change in the past 20 years, as we expanded upon youth work to also provide support services, training, education, and advocacy. From reaching and supporting a record number of LGBTQ+ youth to building partnerships, producing research and effecting legislative change, we have a lot to be proud of.
