Last Saturday a whole Crisis gang of members, volunteers, staff, friends and family stepped out to lead the Newcastle Pride parade. We were very grateful for the honour and also for the opportunity to show the LGBTQ community that Crisis is a safe space and there to help everyone regardless of gender, religion, sexuality or ethnicity. Research from Stonewall shows that almost one in five LGBTQ people have experienced homelessness at some point in their lives. Rates are even higher amongst trans people, with 25% having experienced homelessness at some point. All of us have the right to a safe and decent home. That’s why it’s vital that our support systems work for and include everyone in society.
