London Friend is the UK’s oldest LGBTQ+ charity, providing mental health and wellbeing support since 1972. We offer help and advice to all LGBTQ+ people, providing one-to-one counselling, social support groups; plus, a specialist service Antidote that offers support around drugs and alcohol use.

Story

From the 10th January - 21st January, I am partaking in a 10 day silent Vipassana meditation retreat at Dhamma Dipa. 

I am raising money for London Friend,  a charity that helps and assists those in the LGBTQ society with a range of issues with their antidote service focusing on substance abuse and chemsex culture. 

London Friend also offers low cost counselling and support around issues such as same-sex relationships, sexual orientation and gender
identity and promoting personal growth and self-confidence.

I am raising the money in memory of two friends that have used London Friend's services before and unfortunately lost their lives this year, Davan H and John B. 

'Our drug and alcohol service, Antidote, delivers vital support to LGBT people seeking help around substance use issues.

We provide a range of evening support, social groups and a Friday morning drop in – a safe alternative space to the bar and club scene.'

All money donated will go to London Friend and help pay for free counselling, the running costs of a 4 day a week helpline and the running of free therapeutic groups.
