Making Lives Safer
We are a new charity which seeks to make lives safer for disadvantaged vulnerable or isolated LGBT+ people, their friends, families and close communities. While legal, economic and cultural changes in the UK since the 1960’s have helped improved equality and freedom for many LGBT+ people, LGBT + people still experience disproportionate levels of disadvantage and discrimination. At worse people can ‘go back in the closet’ after a lifetime of freedom and self fulfilment and self expression. This is especially possible at key life stages such as dealing with ageing, managing different stages of childhood and adulthood, addressing major health, economic, faith, class, race, culture, employment or social issues at any age.
