Give hope, peace, joy & love to LGBTQIA+ people

THANKS TO 70 supporters over the last five weeks, our Advent & Christmas Appeal has raised 1/3 of our £5k target, with an average donation of £24!

As we're still in the Christmas season until Epiphany on 6th January, we've extended our Crowdfunder deadline until 6pm THIS FRIDAY to give a little more time to get closer to our target.

In the last of our seasonal reflections, Open Table Network trustee Lucy Berry reflects on Epiphany, the theme we chose for the fifth and week of our appeal. Lucy shares how:

'The Open Table Network aches for all LGBTQIA+ people to receive this epiphany: that the Jesus story isn’t just about you believing in God: but about God believing in you.'

WATCH HERE [3mins]. If you've missed any of our previous Advent reflections, WATCH HERE.

'This is the only worship space where I feel totally safe to be myself without needing to check first. Long may it continue to grow.'
- Richard, comment on OTN crowdfunder, December 2022.

A gift from you today could help provide a safe space for an isolated LGBTQIA+ person in 2023. Thank you!

If you have already given, please share the link if you are able:

If you are in a position to give monthly to increase the impact of your support, please sign up here:

You'll be asked about payment card details, whether you wish to be anonymous, eligibility for Gift Aid, and your preferred donation amount. Even a fiver a month can really help to give financial security to train potential ‘host’ churches to welcome LGBTQIA+ people so they can belong as themselves.

Much appreciated,

Kieran, OTN Coordinator.
