Well hello beautiful <3

Thank you for coming to my page!

I am going sober for January to raise money for Antidote, which is a specialist LGBT drug and alcohol service.

Antidote are inviting people to stay off alcohol for a month and raise money to help them provide drug and alcohol support to LGBT people seeking to cut down on their alcohol/drug use, or stop completely. 

The LGBT community is often affected by alcohol much more than wider society, and as a result need specialist help to get them safe and sober.

There are so many stats out there about the drinking habits of LGBT people, but these two stick with me.... Stonewall found that 29% of lesbian and bi women binge drink at least once a week, compared to 15% of women in general. I'm sure this will ring true to many of my lesbian and bi friends, and I know that in my experience my female friends in the LGBT scene tend to drink far more - and more often - than my straight female friends. 

The Trans Mental Health Study 2012 found the 47% of trans people drank at high and potentially problematic levels... This is such a high figure, and I feel it is our duty as either trans* people or trans allies to get the support to those who need it.

I would really appreciate you donating to help LGBT people get access to the support they need. £50 subsidizes a counselling session for someone on a low income. Let's get a few people the sessions they need :)

Thank you <3 xox
