Get to know this service
London Friend offers a range of services aimed at improving the health and wellbeing of the LGBTQIA+ community. These include one-to-one and group counselling, drug and alcohol support, and coming-out and peer support groups.
The organisation runs an LGBTQIA+ community centre in Kings Cross, London. Regular groups and sessions held there include a creative writing group, social groups for gay and bisexual men, a drop-in café, and a trans group.
Other activities include a women's craft and social group, a neurodivergent group, and an open stage session exploring creativity through theatre and storytelling. Some sessions, such as housing advice and a stop smoking service, are run by external organisations at the centre.
Services are delivered by a team of over 100 trained LGBTQIA+ volunteers supported by a small staff team, relying on donations and support from the community.
