November-the calendrical bridesmaid forced to walk up the annual aisle ahead of the month everyone’s come to see! Poor, meek, cold November, with a false, fixed grin. And yet, what’s this? CY is ready to rock and roll November until our feet ache and we feel a bit dizzy. Cheesy metaphors aside, gaze below to find out more about our plans for the next month!
Love and solidarity as always, the CY team xoxo

Mind over Margins Publication Launch!!!
On world mental health day we launched a new comic anthology that visualizes 17 personal accounts of mental health.
Spanning subjects including depression, ableism, hospitalization, and more, this selection of comics offers a nuanced, personal and honest look into mental health- a topic which, at times, can be rushed to be summarised and condensed.
More info can be found here

Launching our free LGBT+Me Comic Book!
Supporting our young people to navigate the complexities of life has never been more accessible with LGBT+Me!
We are so proud to announce the official launch of LGBT+Me, a comic made by two of our young creatives, following the story of animal friends at a sleepover learning about identity, life, change, and growing up. Ideal for children and young people who want to learn about LGBT+ issues and basic information about who they are and how others identify.
Whether you are a school working towards the Rainbow Award or a parent who wants their children to be educated on mental health and identity, order your copies today! You just pay for postage:
