Luke and John, who have been married for four years, are drawing on their own experiences of being gay to help others and have ploughed more than £8,000 of their savings into the headquarters which, once it opens, will also serve as a charity shop and a base for their support services.
Luke said: “We want it to be an open door for people of any age in the LGBTQ+ community. We will be above the shop so even if someone needs us at 8pm at night, we want to be there for them.
“We want to create an atmosphere where LGBTQ+ people are free to be who they are, love who they love, and live without fear of violence, harassment or discrimination.”
