He never expected volunteering to change his life. ๐Ÿ’œ

"Taking that first step has given me a stronger sense of connection and responsibility to my community."

In our latest blog, Jake Xu shares how volunteering with LGBT Foundation helped him find connection, purpose and belonging.

Today, Jake volunteers as a Board Advisor, using his experience in business, branding and communications to help strengthen our impact.

He's also one of 200+ incredible volunteers who help power our work, making it possible for LGBTQ+ people to access life-saving support, feel less isolated and know they're not alone.

This summer, Winona's story lit up Outernet, bringing q***r hope and joy to the heart of London and millions across the UK.

For some, it may have been a moment of understanding. For one LGBTQ+ person, it may have been the moment they saw themselves in Winona's story and realised they weren't alone.

Refuse to Be Invisible. Share this post and ensure Winona's story, and countless others, are seen, heard and celebrated. ๐Ÿ’œ

LGBT Foundation: ๐ŸŒˆ Today is the International Day of Older Persons.

It takes less than four minutes to boil a kettle. Spend those same four minutes hearing from older LGBTQ+ people about the rights they fought for, the challenges they faced, and why protecting progress matters now more than ever.

Their courage helped shape the communities, support and freedoms many of us benefit from today.

๐ŸŽฅ Watch, listen and learn how LGBT Foundation is helping LGBTQ+ people, including our incredible older generation, live vibrant, connected and authentic lives.

๐Ÿ’œ Help protect the legacy they've built and secure our future.

๐Ÿค If you or your organisation would like to help create a future that LGBTQ+ people can be proud of, we'd love to hear from you.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Wow, what a Pride season that was! Thank you to every person who marched, volunteered, donated, supported and celebrated with us this year. Pride is powered by community, and we're so grateful to everyone who helped make it happen. Stunning!

These moments are filled with q***r hope and joy, but they also remind us why Pride is still needed. Until every LGBTQ+ person can live safely, openly and without barriers, our work continues. Thank you for being by our side. ๐ŸŒˆ
