The OUT and Safe North East, hosted by ReportOUT, is a welcoming and inclusive weekly drop-in designed specifically for LGBTQ+ migrants living in the North East of England. Whether you are new to the area, or have been here a while, this safe and supportive space is open to everyone from across the LGBTQ+ migrant community (whether you are working here, seeking asylum, are a refugee, or you are an international student).

 

Each weekly session will offer a mix of activities, advice, and support to help you settle, connect, and thrive. It’s a chance to make new friends, share experiences, and build a supportive community in a relaxed and respectful environment. From practical guidance to fun, social events and creative sessions, OUT and Safe North East is here to support your journey and celebrate who you are.

​

• Held at a dedicated and safe Gateshead location, which is on a direct bus route from Newcastle and Gateshead, free car parking on site, and very close to a Metro stop.

• If you are seeking asylum, we can pay for your return costs to the drop-in if you travel by public transport. You must provide a receipt or a ticket to get this returned in cash.
