About this event

This group meeting is facilitated by Sahir House, Liverpool's largest & oldest LGBTQ+ charity.

The meetings take place on the last Friday of the month at Open Door Charity's Bloom Building, In Birkenhead, on The Wirral.

The support group covers the Liverpool City Region, and offers a safe and friendly space for folx who identify as LGBTQ+ and are seeking asylum, who live on the Wirral.

This is an opportunity to meet others, support one another, chat and discuss issues affecting LGBTQ+ who are going through the asylum process whilst residing on The Wirral, in addition to;

- Signposting to services and further support

- Information about LGBTQ+ health and wellbeing

The meeting runs from 3pm-5pm.

Due to limited capacity, we ask those who would like to attend in person to book a place via Eventbrite. There will be a maximum of 15 attendees.

This allows for a safe and manageable group session, creating a comfortable and relaxed experience for those attending.
