OUR AIMS & OBJECTIVES

We aim to help LGBT+ Asylum Seekers and Refugees integrate into society and we attempt to break down the isolation which many of them experience, particularly while their applications are being processed. Browse this website to find details of what we do in terms of:

• Befriending
• Advocacy
• Arranging peer-support and social activities
• English tuition
• Offering practical and financial support
• Awareness raising
• Collaboration with other agencies

OUR MISSION STATEMENT

We are working for a world where people do not need to flee from their own country because they are at risk of attack on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

However, for as long as LGBT+ people do need to seek asylum and refuge in the UK, Time to be Out aims to support them and be advocates on their behalf.
