About Us
Proud 2 B Parents is an inclusive charity led by and for LGBT+ parents, carers, and their families.
At Proud 2 b Parents, we run meet-ups, youth sessions, family support, seasonal parties, and Pride family spaces, alongside online groups. We also provide training, consultancy, and bespoke services for professionals and organisations, helping build understanding of LGBT+ families. Our mascot, Rainbow, welcomes everyone to our supportive, vibrant community.
Our Meet-Ups
Proud 2 B runs a variety of welcoming meet-ups across Greater Manchester for LGBT+ parents, carers, and their children.
Our weekday Stay, Chat & Play sessions in Manchester and Bolton offer relaxed drop-ins with toys, activities, and time to chat. Every other Friday we explore local attractions on our Mid-Week Meet-ups, and once a month we host a Sunday Get-together at soft play or outdoors in the summer. We also offer Saturday Space for smaller community groups within Proud 2 B, and Proud 2 B Me, a monthly youth group for 8–16 year olds.
“Proud 2 b Parents is by far the service we've accessed the most. It feels like it's tailored perfectly to our needs, where we can meet lovely families that are all different, welcomed and celebrated.”

Our Training
We also provide a range of training and services for businesses, organisations, and professionals to support understanding and inclusion of LGBT+ parents and carers. This includes ready-made training packages tailored to your needs, as well as bespoke sessions designed specifically for your organisation. We offer opportunities to meet your social responsibility goals through corporate sponsorship, and Matt Taylor-Roberts is available as a keynote speaker to share insights and experiences.
