Purple Friday: supporting LGBT youth across Scotland

 


LGBT Youth Scotland is gearing up for its 22nd annual Purple Friday celebration. On February 27, communities are invited to take part in Paint It Purple activities, aimed at showing visible support for LGBT young people.

Purple Friday is the annual fundraising day where people all over Scotland show their support for LGBT young people and fundraise for vital services.

Organisers say the day is all about celebrating "creativity, self-expression, and showing up for queer young people in ways that feel bold, joyful, and unmistakably visible."

The goal is to turn places like classrooms, offices, and shop windows visibly purple for the day.

A spokesperson said: "On Purple Friday, we use it to say loudly and clearly that LGBT young people matter, that their creativity is powerful, and that they deserve a future filled with colour, possibility, and care."
