Our Emergency Hotel and Outreach service was initially funded by the LGBTIQ+ Community in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In partnership with a national hotel chain we have secured emergency rooms in Central London exclusively for the use of the LGBTIQ+ community throughout winter 2020/21 and winter 2021/22. Our team continues to outreach support to LGBTIQ+ people in the COVID-19 hotels throughout the year.
We are looking to develop this into a ‘COVID legacy’ year round LGBTIQ+ Emergency Hotel and Outreach Service. Please contact our Managing Director Carla Ecola if you are a hotel provider or a funder interested in supporting the growth of this service.
