How to access advice
In person
Stonewall Housing runs a number of drop-in surgeries around London. These provide an opportunity to just pop in and speak with a worker face-to-face for about 15 minutes. This will give you a chance to get basic advice and find out what your options are. If we think we can help you further, we will arrange a time to speak to you in more detail.
Below is a list of times and places for the surgeries. Most surgeries are for any LGBT person who wants advice. The last surgery listed is specifically for black and minority ethic LGBT people:
