What’s the Group Like?
“I felt nervous on my first day and week at BeLonG To as I didn’t know any of the people there. But after I walked in it was really nice talking to people who are going through the same things as me. It made me feel really happy that I could talk to people there. Everyone is really nice, fun to be around, and we all love each other!!!! The best thing about being a member of BelonG To is that if anything is bringing you down, BeLonG To is always there for you.” Dylan
“I wanted to go to Belong To because I didn’t know any other LGBT+ young people and thought I’d just try Belong To Sunday. Before I started going to the group I was so afraid and didn’t know that to expect. I was so excited, but also nervous. I sat alone and everyone came up and talked to me and made me feel welcome. I didn’t think I would fit in. I thought everyone would be stereotypical and fashionable, but it was nothing like I expected. I go whenever I can now because the people there are just so nice and I made so many new friends. The most positive things I think are the workshops as they are really fun and always interesting. No one is ever alone, even if your new someone will come up and talk to you. The best thing about being a member of BeLonG To is that it’s just great and gives you something to do on a normal boring Sunday.” Adam
