10 Years of Free2B
From June 2025 to June 2026, we’ll be celebrating our 10th birthday with a year of reflection, celebration and fundraising!
That’s 10 years of creating safe spaces, championing inclusion, and supporting LGBTQ+ young people and their families. We’re incredibly proud of how far we’ve come — but we can’t stop now.
We need your help now more than ever
Right now, LGBTQ+ young people are facing some of the toughest challenges we’ve seen in years. The need for safe, supportive spaces has never been greater — and neither has the need for your support.
Alongside Free2B’s 10th birthday, we’re also celebrating 15 years of GAP Youth Club, which continues to be a lifeline for LGBTQ+ young people in London. It’s a powerful reminder that consistent, long-term support can truly change lives.
Help us Reach Our £10,000 Fundraising Goal
We’re asking for your support to help us raise £10,000 during our birthday year so we can continue our vital work and grow our impact. Whether you join our colourful ’10K for 10K’ Walk in Battersea Park, take on a personal ‘10 for 10’ challenge, or make a donation, you’ll be helping us support LGBTQ+ young people and their families, who need us now more than ever.

Join our ’10k for 10k’ fundraiser
28th June 2025 │ Time 12.30pm │ Battersea Park
We’re bringing the Free2B community together for a joyful 10K walk — and we’d love you to be part of it. Whether you walk the full 10K or just a few laps, you’ll be helping bring us closer to our £10,000 fundraising target and making a real difference for LGBTQ+ young people.
After we cross the finish line, we’ll head over to Wandsworth Family Pride, taking place right there in Battersea Park. The celebrations will continue with performances, community and (of course) birthday cake!
We’ll also be giving a short celebratory talk at Pride, reflecting on 10 years of Free2B and everything we’ve achieved together.

Design your own ’10 for 10′ fundraiser
Take on your own fundraising challenge inspired by the number 10 — any time throughout our birthday year!
It’s simple: set yourself a creative goal involving the number 10 and raise funds for Free2B. You can do it solo or as part of a team — at home, school, work, or with friends. You could complete a 10-hour sponsored silence, organise a team gym relay, or wear different pride-themed outfits to work for 10 days straight. The possibilities are endless, and we can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Celebrating our history
Our community bunting project and competition is now underway! Featuring designs from our members alongside iconic photos from the last decade, it will be a collaborative artwork that celebrates what Free2B means to our community. Click the button below to look at the bunting designs so far and find out how to get involved.
Keep an eye out for our other upcoming celebration projects! We will also be collecting video messages from across the Free2B family (past and present) sharing what Free2B has meant to them. These projects will be revealed throughout our birthday year so watch this space!
