LATEST NEWS - Updated 17/05/2022
We are easing the restrictions we brought in to manage during the coronavirus lockdowns. We will no longer be taking bookings for the drop-in, art room etc. and will not have a cap on the number of clients who can attend.
We will continue to take people’s temperatures on arrival and encourage people to wear masks when moving around the building. We continue to ask that you stay at home and do not attend the day centre if you have a new continuous cough, a fever, shortness of breath, loss of taste or smell, or have tested positive for coronavirus.
For details of our services, please view the timetable
We continue to offer 1-hour face-to-face appointments across all services. Please contact us on 020 3301 9850 if you would like to see a member of staff in person.

We're a charity with limited funds; we want those funds to keep supporting those in the community that need it most! That's why we need your help to give our staff a well-deserved Team Day https://gofundme.com/f/etah2-team-work-makes-the-dream-work?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_campaign=p_cf+share-flow-1
Being LGBTQIA+ doesn't cause mental health problems. But discrimination does.
We’re here to fight for everybody on International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia – and every other day. #IDAHOBIT
