LGBTQ+ Asylum Seeker Support Group
About the event
We understand that navigating a new environment can feel daunting, especially when faced with the challenges of seeking asylum as an LGBTQ+ individual. This group is a safe and welcoming space designed specifically for LGBTQ+ individuals to build local connections and friendships.
Join us in a relaxed atmosphere where you can meet others who share similar experiences and interests. Here, you can forge lasting friendships, enjoy engaging conversations, and participate in enjoyable activities, all aimed at reducing social isolation and fostering a sense of community.
Please note, the purpose of this group is to provide peer support and reduce isolation. While we are unable to provide legal advice or financial aid at this time, we can signpost you to other support services in Leicester.
Do I need to book?: No need to book, drop-ins welcome and encouraged.
How to access the building?: Please access this group via the front reception on Newarke Street.
FREQUENCY: Every Other Tuesday starting 27 May, 3.30-5pm. Please access this group via the front reception on Newarke Street.
