Our services are open to all LBQ (lesbian, bisexual, queer) women, non-binary and gender non-conforming people and anyone who feels more comfortable accessing an LBQ-welcoming space.

Our services include:

LEHA Safe Space

Our ‘safe space’ within our offices is open every week day. This drop-in space is free and open to all LBQ community members as a place to relax, access WiFi and find out about our services.

Violence and crisis response

Our trained responders support community members when they have experienced violence, harassment or discrimination. We can support victims to report a crime, liaise with police, provide access to health and legal services, act as a mediator and connect victims with safe housing.

Mental health support

Qualified LGBTQ-friendly psychologists provide group and one-to-one counselling for community members who have experienced discrimination or trauma.

Peer to peer health education

Our trained peer educators work with the LBQ community to provide important health information which is relevant to individuals’ lived experiences.

Sexual and reproductive health services

Many LBQ women and non-binary people struggle to access appropriate health care. We provide sexual and reproductive health services that are trans and non-binary inclusive, including HIV testing and counselling, STI screening and treatment, and family planning. We also offer breast and cervical cancer screening.

Commodities distribution

We provide free access to condoms and lubricant, packaged to make them appealing for our community, and advice on safer sex practices.

Legal advice and assistance

We partner with the National Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission to provide community members with access to legal representation, legal advice and education on human rights.

Emergency food and assistance

For community members in crisis we provide emergency food and other essentials.

Community dialogues

Our conversation spaces offer LBQ women and non-binary people a place to discuss their experiences of violence and discrimination and share strategies for building queer hope and joy in a hostile society.

3 Minutes of Silence

Our 3 Minutes of Silence programme encourages mental and physical wellness by giving community members a space to reflect, heal and build community through activities such as art therapy, yoga, dance, boxing and football.

Violence hotspot map

Our hotspot map (hosted on Google maps) is a community safety tool which highlights specific locations where LBQ people have experienced harassment or violence.

Sharing expertise and evidence with key stakeholders

We work with relevant service providers in our region such as the local health board, healthcare providers, law enforcement and other NGOs to raise awareness of the issues faced by LBQ women and non-binary people, to offer support to deliver culturally competent services to LBQ people, and to share data on the health and violence issues faced by our community.
