Worcester LGBT stands as a beacon of hope and understanding—a testament to the transformative power of community and the enduring strength found in acceptance and belonging. We warmly invite you to join our journey of creating more inclusive, compassionate spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals throughout the United Kingdom.
OUR JOURNEY
Since our founding on 20th November 2018, Worcester LGBT has blossomed into a vibrant, nationwide community dedicated to creating safe havens for LGBTQ+ individuals across the United Kingdom. Under the visionary leadership of our Founder and Chairman, Mazedul Hasan Shakil, we have cultivated a compassionate space where acceptance thrives and solidarity flourishes.
OUR MISSION AND HEART
At the very core of our organisation beats a steadfast commitment to supporting LGBTQ+ individuals, particularly those navigating the complex journey of seeking asylum. We tenderly nurture environments where people can access vital support services, forge meaningful connections, and experience that precious sense of belonging that every human heart yearns for.
Through our thoughtfully arranged monthly gatherings at Dalston Superstore in London and various LGBTQ+ venues throughout the country, we create warm, welcoming spaces where community blossoms naturally. Our dedicated team organises regular events that empower members to feel genuinely embraced and valued—celebrating their authentic selves in atmospheres of unconditional acceptance.
OUR APPROACH
With meticulous care and profound respect for individual circumstances, Worcester LGBT follows a carefully developed methodology for supporting asylum-related matters. Our comprehensive approach, crafted through consultation with experts, ensures we provide meaningful assistance aligned with established guidelines and legal frameworks.
Our compassionate process includes face-to-face meetings where individuals can share their stories in a safe environment, completing thorough documentation that substantiates their experiences. Every assessment is conducted with exquisite sensitivity to cultural nuances, psychological considerations, and personal circumstances—acknowledging the unique challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals seeking refuge.
