Twenty10 was founded as youth crisis housing in 1982 in Darlinghurst, but a group of passionate community volunteers. Now, in our 40th year of operating, Twenty10 has grown into one of the largest and longest running NSW based services working to support young LGBTIQA+ people - and this in part has been made possible by you - our community supporters.
Whilst we have government funding for our core work, this has not increased greatly over time. This means our fund raised dollars go directly into our programs such as our intake support line and free counselling service - both of which support hundreds of young people, their families and communities a year.
Here is a quote from someone we supported many years ago:
"As a houseless transgender young person in the 90’s, Twenty10 was there for me. Thanks to their support, this year, we’re both turning 40. It’s a milestone I didn’t expect to reach. I’m so happy to see that Twenty10 is also still here 40 years on. Still supporting young LGBTIAQ+ people." Lennox
With your support, we can continue to ensure young LGBTIQA+ people are not only surviving, but thriving - and being provided with the opportunities to succeed in life, and reach all the important milestones and goals they set for themselves.
We are so grateful for YOUR support over these 40 years, and for your considered support this year as we strive towards our annual target, so we can continue for at least another 40!

Twenty10 cknowledges the traditional owners of Country throughout New South Wales, including the Gadigal people of the land on which we live and work. We recognise that this is stolen land. We extend our acknowledgement to First Nations people across this continent and its surrounding islands, and honour their sovereignty and resistance. We recognise their ongoing relationship with the land, waters and sky, and pay our respect to their Elders past and present. Sovereignty was never ceded, and no treaty was signed. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.
