Outcome

Outcome is a client-led LGBTQ+ service that has been run by a lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans team for 15 years and is one of the few LGBT mental health services in London.

Telephone: 020 7272 5038
(Tuesdays only)

Outcome

Islington Mind’s client-led LGBTQ+ service

 

We meet every Tuesday between 10:30am and 4:00pm and usually have 35 to 40 clients in each session.

Our main aim is to provide a sanctuary for LGBTQ+ people – somewhere safe where they can be themselves, socialise free from discrimination, receive therapies to improve their mental health, learn new skills and acquire knowledge to improve their quality of life.

We are located in the Ashley Road centre at 35 Ashley Road, London N19 3AG.

Our guiding principles are:

  • To treat each other with respect, fairness and consideration
  • To be mindful of our individual needs – we are all different but equal.
  • To have a safe environment where we can be ourselves and not be judged.

Outcome’s response to Coronavirus/COVID-19

Islington Mind takes the health and wellbeing of our service users and staff as our top priority.

Our usual Tuesday and Wednesday drop-in services are suspended, but the Outcome team is still here, working remotely on these days to support service users during these uncertain and challenging times.


We are now offering online social groups on Tuesdays and Wednesdays

Outcome Main Drop-in for everyone: Tuesdays 11:00 – 1:00 and 2:00 – 4:00

Outcome Art drop-in for everyone: Tuesdays 11:00 – 12:00

Outcome Women’s Space: Tuesdays 12:00 – 1:00

If you are a regular Outcome service user, you will have been or will be contacted by one of our staff team and offered regular remote support.

If you have not been contacted or would like to speak to us, or want to join in the online social groups, please contact us during our opening times (10:00 – 4:00) on Tuesdays and Wednesdays on 020 7272 5038. Alternatively, email sigal.avni@islingtonmind.org.uk.

We will assess and update this page on a regular basis.

Our Services

We currently offer the following specialist services, activities and peer support groups:

Specialist projects

  • Freedom From Fear To Love: a project to assist LGBTQ+ asylum seekers and refugees with their transition to a newly “out” LGBTQ+ existence.
  • RainbowSports@Mind – a sports and movement project for LGBTQ+ people, aimed at reducing isolation and improving mental health and physical wellbeing. Funded by Comic Relief. 

Activities

  • Creative Writing Group (Tuesdays 11:00 – 13:00) provides a positive space for people to try their hand at different kinds of creative fiction, poetry and non-fiction. We learn techniques, occasionally write together; we also talk about each other’s work and writing more generally. We have absolute beginners as well as experienced writers.
  • Singing group (Tuesdays after lunch) offers breathing exercises and learning of songs. No experience needed, we aim to have fun, express ourselves through singing and free our voices to sing together.
  • Art Attack – free drop-in art sessions offered throughout the day where people are free to be creative with the medium they like. We have lots of lovely material for people to use free of charge and we engage with activities such as painting and drawing and design and poster making.  The activity is sometime offered outdoors, in our beautiful garden. No experience in art is required.
  • Qigong (before lunch) – a gentler form of yoga, Qigong helps you to learn how to breathe and relax. Suitable for any ability.
  • Walking Group (before lunch) – aims to get people active by exploring the local area through gentle and slow walks, no longer than an hour. Suitable shoes required. 
  • Cooking a 2-course homemade healthy meal – We offer a hearty and healthy meal every Tuesday, with a Vegan meal in addition to the meat option. With a different dish each week, meals are planned and cooked in house by clients and staff together as a joint activity.
  • (peer facilitated) Yoga sessions after lunch
  • Gardening – help make great use of our fantastic garden. We grow a range of fruit and vegetables, do general maintenance such as weeding and planting – or just sit and enjoy the weather!

Lunch is subsidised (£3 for a 2 course meal) and we all eat together at 13:00

Peer support groups

LBT Women Only Space offers safe space for self-identifying female individuals. It is a confidential environment where respect and consideration for self and others is paramount but where open discussions are encouraged. We discuss topics chosen by participants, we utilise all forms or art and offer guided meditation. It is a cathartic and healing space for LBT women.

Men’s Group – this is a men-only discussion group in a safe and supporting space. We discuss topic that are chosen by participants, such as ‘getting old in the LGBT community’. We also organise outings to events and/or exhibitions.

Mind Scape – peer support group, part of the London Paranoia & Beliefs Network,  providing support to people who experience, anxiety, paranoia and unusual beliefs

Alternative Therapies Clinic (offering head and shoulders massage)

Psychotherapy service offered to Outcome members only


We facilitate our House Meetings every third week of the month at 3:00 where we all look together at monitoring and developing Outcome.

During the summer we facilitate special summer activities including picnics and trips chosen by our service users.

We network with other service providers to raise awareness about the specific needs of LGBTQ+ individuals who experience mental distress.

We also network with other LGBTQ+ groups and providers and invite speakers to help empower our clients around issues including:

  • Combating homophobia
  • Accessing housing, welfare and training support
  • Safer sex
  • Cooking and nutrition
  • Managing debt

Our open day is usually in October, which is a brilliant opportunity to visit us and see what we offer. Please contact us for further details and for a date.

We also run an annual LBT women-only event in April/May.

 

We are very pleased that Outcome was shortlisted for Charity or Non-Profit Organisation of the Year at the British Diversity Awards. 

Outcome is one of eight nominees shortlisted for the Charity or Non-Profit Organisation of the Year award for 2019. The winner will be announced when the situation is more stable and will automatically be shortlisted for the European Diversity Awards.

 

 

For further details about Outcome, including referrals, activities and/or if you would like to help this project, please contact us on: 020 7272 5038 (Tuesdays only) or email sigal.avni@islingtonmind.org.uk

Islington Mind

We had an amazing day at Outcome’s Islington Mind LGBTQ service on October 31st 2018. The day attracted over 100 guests and included tasters of Outcome’s therapeutic activities such as creative writing and Indian head massage. CLASH (Central London Action on Sexual Health) came to promote their service and the launch of a sexual health clinic at Outcome. Islington’s Pride also promoted their new project which will be starting at Outcome, working with our service users to collect and celebrate Islington’s LGBTQ heritage. Guests came from many organisations, including Survivors UK, Galop, Camden Mind, National Mind, Wandsworth LGBTQ Forum, Hackney and City Mind, and Camden LGBTQ forum. Following an amazing home-cooked lunch, a drama performance took place in the afternoon, as well as an open-mic session - both of which provoked laughter as well as tears. Feedback from service users and guests was very positive, with many organisations suggesting closer work with Outcome in order to further benefit service users. The day was hugely significant in its celebration of the strength and creativity of service users and in promoting Outcome to other organisations and potential service users ... See MoreSee Less

Vaccines go through several stages of lab tests and clinical trials before they can be approved for use. 💉

Regulators review the results of these trials to check whether a vaccine meets the required levels of safety and effectiveness.
