Hi! 

I am a trans athlete and I am running half a marathon to raise money to support Project indigo: a free LGBTQIA youth group and counselling service in Hackney. This service has helped and supported many LGBTQIA young people by providing them with a safe space and a supportive environment where they can talk about their gender identity, sexuality and make new friends!

Some of the things Project Indigo helps the young people they support are:

- attend sessions relating to mental, emotional and creative wellbeing

- understanding GIC referral process

- accessing gender affirming clothing

- writing coming out letters

- accessing LGBTQIA services supporting with homelessness, sexual assault and domestic violence

- providing key work throughout the last year of lockdown

Project Indigo also provides 1:1 short term counselling service and LGBTQIA training to services across Hackney.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
