Who are we and what do we do?

The Journey LGBT+ Asylum Group is a support group for LGBT+ asylum seekers and refugees in Birmingham and the West Midlands.

We provide a welcoming, safe and supportive space, building confidence and a sense of community to asylum seekers who identify as LGBT+.

We offer information, signposting and support through the asylum process and settling into the UK.
