Bit Bent understand that it can be challenging to find acceptance and support, which is why Capital Region Community Services (CRCS) is here to provide a welcoming environment for you to be yourself at the Belconnen Youth Centre in Canberra.
Whether you’re looking for resources, connections or simply a place to hang out and be with like-minded individuals, Bit Bent has got you covered.
Bit Bent is a safe space for LGBTIQA+ young people and allies of the LGBTIQA+ community to socialise and make new friends. Drop in and be a part of our community today; no registrations required. Our weekly groups are participant-led, with activities based on group member’s interests.
Through Bit Bent, CRCS provide the space, supervision and support for young people to meet peers outside of their regular school and social settings.
Since its inception around 20 years ago, Bit Bent has provided a culturally safe, participant-led space for LGBTIQA+ young people aged 10 to 25 and their allies.
To facilitate developmentally appropriate, safe conversation and effective sharing of experiences, we offer two age cohorts for Bit Bent, both on Thursday afternoons.
- Belconnen Youth Centre
Chandler St & Swanson Court, Belconnen ACT - Young people 10 - 17 years meet from 4:00pm to 5:45pm
- Young people 18 - 25 meet from 5:45pm to 7:30pm.
- Bit Bent is FREE to attend
At times, Bit Bent facilitate events and activities for both age cohorts together, and these events are more meaningful when the participants are familiar with each other.
