We are looking for a number of enthusiastic and innovative people to join our vibrant board, leading the charity to supporting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex young people right across Scotland.  These will be motivated and committed individuals who share the Charity’s values and bring expertise and experience at a strategic level.
