Established in 1972 London Friend is the UK’s oldest LGBT charity. London Friend supports the health and mental wellbeing of the LGBT community in and around London. We offer counselling and support around issues such as same-sex relationships, sexual and gender identity and promoting personal growth and self-confidence. We are also home to Antidote - the UK's oldest LGBT drug and alcohol service. Our social groups provide a safe space to meet and socialise as an alternative to the bar and club scene. Our services are delivered by trained LGBT volunteers.
