“Locked Down & Out”

LGBTQ abuse more than doubled during Covid-19 lockdown with many vulnerable queer people locked in with intolerant family members, and the LGBT Foundation’s helpline has struggled to keep up with the surge in demand for their services.

I wanted to help. So teamed up with production company FRIEND to tell a story inspired by real accounts of people locked down and out.

The project is still raising money, but so far we’ve funded over 400 extra hours of helpline services.
