The JOIN Toolkit is for people who want LGBTQIA+ spaces to be more welcoming, inclusive and supportive of everyone in our community – to offer us meaningful opportunities to get involved, learn new skills, share ideas and grow new networks, projects and communities of our own.

It is co-created by people facing homelessness and/or insecure immigration status. It is a resource for YOU.

Launching January 2025.
