LGBTQ+ Asylum-seeker group
We host a social and support group for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer and questioning asylum-seekers and refugees in Leicester and Leicestershire.
This group is run jointly by Trade and the Leicestershire LGBTQ+ Centre, to provide the best support for LGBTQ+ asylum-seekers locally. We provide a space for you to socialize and make friends with other LGBTQ+ asylum-seekers (and supportive members of the local community). Staff and volunteers are available to offer you support with your health and wellbeing, and connect you with other specialist services who can support your needs and your asylum application.
