The orange door reflects METRO’s youth services, which the charity has been running for over 40 years. Young LGBTQIA+ people face difficulties which their straight peers do not – like increased bullying, and sometimes having to hide big parts of themselves at home.
METRO’s youth groups have always been a safe space where young queer people can be themselves, relax with peers, and have support for their health and wellbeing. The charity often runs arts and crafts activities, including zine making, textile art, and much more. This wreath shows some of the activist spirit and resilience of the young people METRO supports.
