Supporting LGBTI+ Asylum Seekers OPAL Charity's Compassionate Mission

In our captivating podcast episodes, we enthusiastically invite and host African LGBTQ+ and Global Majority individuals to share their personal stories, challenges, and triumphs. This platform provides a valuable opportunity for our community to advocate for those whose voices may often go unheard. Furthermore, we extend invitations to other guests who shine a light on the various issues affecting migrant communities, such as education, well-being, employment, and relationships. Participants are empowered to openly express and share their unique narratives. Our insightful podcasts are presented on our YouTube channel, drawing in a diverse, global audience.

Our group offers a supportive environment for connecting with fellow members, both online and in person, to address asylum and refugee-related challenges. We organize legal workshops with lawyers from well-established firms to guide our members through the intricacies of asylum law. During these workshops, members can freely seek advice and ask questions about their asylum cases. It’s important to note that these workshops are exclusively open to our members. If you’re interested in participating, please register to attend the workshop. Thank you.

Join us for a variety of monthly events, including gallery viewings, dance and music, drawing sessions, and Friday cocktail evenings. Whether you’re seeking creative outlets, artistic inspiration, or a greater appreciation for the arts, we offer opportunities to explore the vibrant cultural scene of the city and revive your creativity.

Join our inclusive community at our weekly social event designed for LGBTQ+ refugees and individuals seeking asylum. Everyone is invited to attend! It’s a wonderful opportunity to connect with new acquaintances, reconnect with familiar faces, and exchange stories and valuable advice. Feel free to join us anytime from 5 pm onwards, and there’s no need for prior registration. We understand that building new friendships and getting to know fellow African LGBTQ+ individuals can be challenging, so let’s navigate this ‘getting to know each other’ phase together. If you’re looking to expand your social circle and connect with like-minded LGBTQ+ individuals, our events provide an opportunity for casual conversations centred around shared interests.
