We help LGBTQ+ people live in safety as asylum seekers. We meet basic needs, organise events, provide weekly support groups, and peer to peer support. We carry out casework to aid queer people's asylum claim based on gender and sexual orientation.

Story

In support of showing our colours for Pride, Offspring will be getting (Eco-Friendly) T-Shirts made to wear in the parade and beyond. We are asking for a donation to a Bristol based LGBTQ+ charity Bristol Pride Without Borders - a support group for Bristol-based LGBTQ+ people seeking asylum and those with refugee status.

To celebrate Pride month this July – Offspringers are invited to march together in the Bristol Pride Parade on the morning of Saturday 8th July. 

Bristol Pride Without Borders:

Bristol Pride Without Borders helps LGBTQ+ people live in safety as asylum seekers and new refugees. They meet basic needs, organise queer friendly events, provide weekly support groups, and peer to peer support. Most importantly they carry out casework to support people's asylum claim based on gender and sexual orientation.

Their hard work has resulted in 35 people securing their refugee status and enabled them to live freely in safety.

After winning his court case with the support of PWB, Mohammed said: "I'm really thankful for PWB who gave me the confidence to live openly. Being accepted as a refugee by the courts has totally changed my life. Before I had a lot of stress and uncertainty, but since the day I received my status I have felt calm. I feel I have the right to live my life my own way."

PWB provides basic needs as well as long term support. Give to them today!
