Touch Grass CIC is an outdoor community for queer women, trans and non-binary people of colour. Part of the funding they received helped to actualise their inaugural wellness retreat which catered to 52 queer women, trans and non-binary people of colour - the first of its kind in the UK.

“I’ve never been in an environment with people that me feel so safe and able to be my Black, Trans, Neurodivergent self. No masking, no explaining myself, no judgements. Just existing” If you can donate £100 please head to the link donorbox.org/lgbt-fund-do...
