Building the Future of LGBTQ+ Support in Lewisham

At Lewisham Local, we’re proud to have a history of supporting LGBT+ groups to thrive, whether that’s through mentoring, fundraising support or partnerships. But the work isn’t done. Lewisham has one of the highest proportions of LGBT+ residents in the country and yet support for these communities is fragmented and trans, non-binary and LGBT+ people of colour still face heightened barriers to healthcare, housing and safety. 

Help us to keep tackling food poverty and isolation in Lewisham!
