This service addresses the gap in provision for those fleeing their homeland because of being LGBT+ and often still face discrimination here from those from their homeland. This project addresses social isolation, psychological distress and supports the creation of peer networks of support to build a new life integrated in the community. All those we support are both economically and socially disadvantaged. Most have no contact with their families of origin. Many have no or limited connections to others in the UK and are afraid of being “outed” in the communities of origin here in the UK. This project enables LGBT+ asylum seekers to meet weekly and also encourages peer networks to form so support and friendships can extend beyond the group. The groups enable peer support and the sharing of experiences of both applying for asylum as well as opportunity for sharing cultural experiences that they have been cut off from. These groups supports those who have escaped violence, torture, been disowned by families/communities and persecution by communities/authority. The impact leaves people with acute anxiety, depression and feeling suicidal. LGBT led support provides opportunity to feel safe to be who you are. 50 people will be supported during the year, two groups will be run a week, each group has space for 15 people in each session, supported by one lead facilitator, volunteers and peer volunteers. The groups are open to those that live in London. The group is kept at this number to ensure that appropriate emotional support can be provided as often within the groups there are a number of individuals who are facing significant mental health difficulties, including PTSD, depression and anxiety. On group also supports LGBT+ asylum seekers to volunteer through supporting them with CV/application forms, interview preparation; to find volunteering to support well being. The volunteering element of the project enables people to find new networks within and beyond the LGBT+ community whilst providing regular support for those volunteering to share their experiences with each other and to support the integration of LGBT+ asylum seekers within the wider LGBT+ community. We have been running this service but funding for this ends March 2020.
