Welcome to Out North East

We are a passionate LGBTQ+ charity dedicated to empowering lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer and other LGBTQ+ people, and allies, across the North East.

We create inclusive, inspiring spaces where everyone can be their authentic selves without fear or judgement.

Through bold events, creative projects, and community-led initiatives, we celebrate LGBTQ+ voices and drive real change. Whether it’s delivering powerful campaigns, offering advocacy and support, or leading educational programmes, we are here to challenge inequality and uplift our community.


Our work is rooted in collaboration. We partner with local organisations, schools, councils and community groups to ensure our impact reaches far and wide. Together, we’re building a region where LGBTQ+ people feel visible, valued, and safe.


From vibrant Pride celebrations to targeted support services, everything we do is about connection, empowerment, and inclusion. Out North East isn’t just a charity - it’s a movement for equality, resilience and joy.


Join us in shaping a future where everyone has the freedom to live, love and thrive.
