Social inclusion

• On-to-one support: for vulnerable LGBTI asylum seekers and refugees. If you want to come along for a coffee and chat, we can make an appointment for you. This service does not give legal asylum advice, although we can emotionally support you while going through the asylum process
•  Sista Sista: this a monthly peer support group exclusively for LBTI women, including those who have suffered from Gender Based Violence
•  Weather the Storm: this is a weekly peer support group for LGBTI asylum seekers and refugees. The emphasis of this group is using creative expression to overcome stigma and isolation, including:
  • Choir: meets for 24 weeks out of the year. The outcome is to reduce isolation, have fun and make connections with other community groups.
  • Dancing workshops: Fearghus Ó Conchúir, Jamie Dryburgh and Stephanie Schober are internationally acclaimed choreographers and work together to deliver dance workshops for us once a month. A stress buster and working with music and the body to create a feel-good factor.
  • Theatre workshops: we use theatre exercises and role play to work through daily difficult situations and build on our strengths and resources.
