In April 2003 Stonewall Youth Project became a national organisation and was incorporated as a company limited by guarantee with charitable status under the name by which it is known today.
[3] The organisation is mainly funded by the state, with over £700,000 of its £1.2 million 2018-19 income coming from the Scottish Government, local councils and the National Health Service.
In November 2008, LGBT Youth Scotland began providing volunteering opportunities for those over the age of 26 as a part of the National Development Team's Capacity Building Project.
[citation needed] Unlike many youth-steered organisations, LGBT Youth Scotland is not completely peer led, and relies upon experienced volunteers and paid staff to keep services running.
[14][12] In 2022, allegations were made by two men who had accessed LGBT Youth Scotland's services as minors that they had been exposed to abuse as a result of the actions of the charity's employees.
[16] Also in 2024, it was reported that a recently convicted paedophile and child abuser, Andrew Easton, had previously co-authored a children's guide to coming out for LGBT Youth Scotland in 2009.
However, a spokesman for Children in Need confirmed that it had conducted a three-month review of LGBT Youth Scotland after Millard had raised concerns, and had decided to withdraw the grant as a result.
