- Breathing Space is a free, confidential phone service for people in Scotland experiencing low mood, depression or anxiety.
- Exist loudly A London based organisation committed to creating spaces of joy & community for queer Black youth
- African Rainbow Family This charity supports LGBTIQ people of African heritage and the wider BAME community. It was established in 2014 in the wake of some Commonwealth countries in Africa’s draconian anti-gay laws, persecutions and environment that seek to criminalise LGBTIQ people. They support refugees and people seeking asylum, stand against hate crime and campaign for global LGBTIQ equality.
- AZ Magazine This is a media platform that allows LGBT+ people of colour to showcase their talents and to address the issues that are faced in the BME community. They organise monthly AZ Hub events which are a social space for workshops, screenings, art display, discussion, performance and information sharing. This space is a direct response to the lack of alcohol-free, daytime spaces for LGBT+ people of colour in London. They recently launched the AZ Creative Fund to support 5 Black LGBT+ creatives or collectives.
- Black LGBTQIA+ Therapy Fund In 2020, in response to the worldwide pandemic, this was set up to fund therapy sessions for Black LGBTQIA+ people, recognising the unique challenges Black LGBTQIA+ people face and the huge mental health toll this can have.
