Beyond Barriers

Beyond Barriers Beyond Barriers at CrossRoads Care is a project that provides a service to support and assist Cares

This Project is funded for three years to work in Merton, Croydon, Sutton, Wandsworth and Lambeth specifically. We are targeting “hard to reach” LGBT, BME and refugee and asylum seekers, carers and former carers who it has become evident are not accessing support services. We aim to provide a volunteer mentoring service to try and address issues such as, isolation, community involvement and access

to services, skills acquisition, ways into employment and an overall improvement in wellbeing for the volunteers, carers and former carers involved.

Sunday 17th May is International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia. An International Day Against Homophobia (IDAHO) provides a platform for everyone to make a powerful statement to demand improvements for the quality of life for LGBT people. We fail to understand why over 70 countries disallow people to be gay.

To read more:

There are over 75 countries in the world today where it is a criminal offence to be gay. These countries punish women, men and children because of their sexuality and in seven countries the punishment is death.
