This is an organisation that is necessary in this day and time. so many LGBTIQ kids are kicked out of home, bullied or just feel so alone and so different.

Open Doors provides them with a safe place to go for advice, help and socialisation with other kids.

The staff are wonderful.

We took a friend of our daughter in here and he spoke to a worker named Jules who helped him with accommodation and support.

They are awesome. They help gay, lesbians, bi's and transgender with counselling with people between 12 to 24. They are very welcoming and have a lot of fun with the other things they do. They are great. They are open from 9am to 5pm.
