The Mix offers a safe, welcoming space where young people can come together to talk openly about the issues that matter to them, explore identity without judgement, and build confidence and emotional resilience through creative activities.
Allies, questioning and queer young people are all warmly welcome to connect with others in a positive, inclusive environment.
Expect arts and crafts, games, collaborative art, and plenty of snacks along the way. It’s all about creativity, community, and having fun while building friendships and support networks.
Sessions are 5-7pm on Wednesday, once every two weeks. Get in touch to find out when the next session is running!
For youth workers: We’re also launching a new practitioner network to support youth workers who identify as LGBTQIA+ and/or work with young people who do. For more information, contact Jake Williams: jake.williams@marys.org.uk
‘The Rainbow Squad’ is a Zine authored by young people aged 12-19 as part of The Mix, a youth club session for young people aged 12-19.
It contains their writing, photos, art, thoughts, and inspirations.
These sessions before Summer 2026 were run in partnership with Whittington Park Community Centre, made possible with funding from Islington Council as part of the Local Youth Transformation Pilot.
We owe a huge thank you to:
