Every fundraiser makes a real, life-changing difference.
Lancashire LGBT is here when someone needs support, safety, connection or guidance, often at the moments when they feel most alone. Although we receive some national grant funding, it does not cover everything we do or the true cost of running our services.
Every pound raised through fundraising helps us sustain the groups and support that would not otherwise exist. It keeps safe spaces open, keeps community connections strong, and keeps help local for the people who need it most.
- 80% of LGBTQ+ people felt improved mental health and wellbeing through our support.
- 82% of LGBTQ+ people felt more confident and self-accepting through our support.
- 62% felt more connected and less isolated after attending our groups.
Straightforward fundraising. Meaningful difference.
