To celebrate the launch of Alexis Caught's new book Queer Up, we are inviting school Pride clubs from all over Manchester to an interactive evening of Questioning, Pride and Wellbeing with Alexis Caught & Charlie Craggs.

As well as a fun packed evening of talks and group activities, everyone will walk away with a goodie bag including a signed copy of Alexis's new book Queer Up.

Queer Up: An Uplifting Guide to LGBTQ+ Love, Life and Mental Health by award-winning podcaster, writer and speaker, Alexis Caught. Whether queer, questioning or just curious, this is the perfect guide to welcome and support teenagers exploring their LGBTQ+ identity, as well as help allies looking to learn and understand more.

More about the book

Written to help queer and questioning teenagers explore their LGBTQ+ identity and understanding, Queer Up is an insightful and empowering guide which takes young people by the hand, and offers uplifting advice and activities to help readers through life’s challenges and instil them with confidence and pride. The book provides an inclusive account of what it means to grow up queer, with chapters on questioning, coming out, friends and family, love and relationships, sex, shame, pride, being transgender and/or non-binary and allyship, with a key focus on positive mental health strategies.

Queer Up features personal stories from notable LGBTQ+ figures and allies, including award-winning transgender activist Charlie Craggs, author and journalist Kuchenga, human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell, writer and producer Russell T Davies, and writer and activist Scarlett Curtis.

This event is only for School Pride Clubs and not private individuals.
