💛 World Su***de Prevention Day 💛

Today we’re reminding everyone how powerful it can be to Start the Conversation. Talking openly about mental health and su***de can save lives.

At SupportU, we know LGBTQ+ people can face unique challenges — but you’re never alone 🌈

If you or someone you know is struggling, visit our website for links to organisations, charities and resources that can help. Together, we can break the silence and support one another 🫂

Recently, our Interim COO Emily met with Bracknell Forest’s MP, Peter Swallow.

Peter is the first Labour MP for Bracknell, bringing a fresh and locally rooted perspective to Parliament. With an impressive academic background and a strong focus on education, infrastructure, social equity, and community issues, he has quickly established himself as an active and engaged representative - committed to driving meaningful change both locally and nationally.

As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, Peter has also been vocal about the importance of equality and inclusion.

Reflecting on the meeting, Emily said:
“I was impressed with Peter’s commitment to LGBTQ+ issues and his willingness to support us as a charity. He was genuinely enthusiastic about our new ideas and how we can work together to drive things forward. It was refreshing to meet an MP who truly cares about change, inclusion, and community support - not only in Bracknell, but beyond”.

🌈 Looking to make a difference?

We’re on the lookout for passionate volunteers to help us create safe, inclusive spaces across workplaces, sports, and community groups.

Whether you’re part of the LGBTQ+ community or an ally, your support can help us drive real change.

✨ A variety of volunteering roles are available – from community engagement to behind-the-scenes support. It’s also a great opportunity to gain valuable experience in the charity sector and build new skills.

Join us tomorrow as we recognise and celebrate the omnisexual community this Omnisexual Visibility Day! It’s a chance to raise awareness, share resources, and support those attracted to all genders, often with varying preferences.

The day encourages learning, conversation, and visibility, highlighting the unique experiences of omnisexual people and promoting inclusion across the LGBTQ+ spectrum.

Please read our latest update.

As we continue to review SupportU’s direction, we want to let you know that we won’t be at this year’s Wokingham Pride, Windsor & Eton Pride, or Reading Pride.

Unfortunately, we also won’t be hosting our annual Pride Picnic.

If you have any questions or would like to speak with us directly, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Every July, we celebrate Disability Pride Month - a time for disabled people to come together, share experiences, and celebrate creativity, resilience, and achievement.

It’s also a chance to embrace disability identity, challenge stigma, and show allyship through meaningful support and celebration.

Did you know, the Disability Pride flag’s rainbow of colours reflects the diverse experiences within the disabled community - spanning physical, sensory, non-visible, developmental, and mental health conditions.

Each colour represents a specific area:

Red – Physical disabilities
Gold – Neurodiversity
White – Non-visible or undiagnosed conditions
Blue – Mental health and emotional conditions
Green – Sensory impairments (e.g. hearing, vision)

Help change the conversation. Speak up, be proud, and create change.

We’re currently taking some time to review how we do things at SupportU and explore how we can better serve our community. While this review is underway, all upcoming groups and events will be paused.

This includes Chill Out, The Mix, Pride Circle, Pride in Motion and all our upcoming sports workshops.

We understand this news will be disappointing for those who attend and rely on these sessions. However, we believe it’s important to take this time to reflect and reassess how we operate - so we can return stronger and more impactful.

We’ll be back - bigger, better, and with some exciting new developments - so keep an eye out for what’s to come!
