Company activities and impact

Between April 2023 and March 2024, Star Support LGBTIQ+ CIC continued to deliver vital services for the LGBTIQ+ community in London. Our core mission remained focused on supporting LGBTIQ+ people in recovery or crisis housing needs related to their experience of domestic abuse. In September 2023, Star Support CIC, in partnership with The Outside Project, opened an 11-bed domestic abuse refuge. This is particularly important as it is stated elsewhere (not in the given information, but assumed from general knowledge of the Outside Project) that this is the UK's first permanent LGBTQI+ community shelter and hub. This partnership is significant as it addresses the unique and often overlooked needs of the LGBTIQ+ community experiencing domestic abuse, offering a specialized safe space and support services tailored to this population. Such a refuge is critical due to the specific challenges faced by LGBTIQ+ individuals, including potential discrimination in mainstream services and the need for a culturally competent and affirming environment. Through our refuge and weekly recovery group, we provide Health and Wellbeing Support, including referrals to gender-affirming healthcare, sexual health clinics, and culturally competent mental health services. We collaborated with local GPs and mental health practitioners to ensure clients received holistic care. Our Recovery Programmes, such as workshops, drop-ins, and peer-led events are aimed at reducing isolation, building resilience, and fostering a sense of belonging. These were especially valuable to trans and non-binary individuals, refugees, and those from global majority backgrounds. Advocated for Systemic Change, by participating in consultations, conferences and forums, building partnerships with local authorities and NHS trusts, and amplifying the voices of our service users in decision-making spaces. These activities were aligned with our mission to create a safer, more inclusive environment for LGBTIQ+ people, particularly those facing multiple disadvantages. Feedback from our community continues to shape our evolving services.

Consultation with stakeholders

Throughout the financial year 2023–2024, Star Support LGBTIQ+ C.I.C. maintained a strong commitment to engaging with its stakeholders to ensure that our services remained relevant, responsive, and community-led. We consulted with our service users regularly through one-to-one feedback sessions. Residents and community group members provide valuable insight into the needs, experiences, and suggestions for service improvements. We also engaged with partner organisations, local authorities, housing providers, and health professionals to refine our support pathways. Quarterly partnership meetings and joint training events allowed for collaborative planning and a shared understanding of best practices in serving the LGBTIQ+ community. Our ongoing engagement ensured our service delivery remained grounded in the lived experiences of our stakeholders, leading to more effective and inclusive support outcomes.
