Deliveroo, its restaurant partners and LGBTQ+ youth homelessness charity Albert Kennedy Trust (akt) are to provide free meals to members of the LGBTQ+ community who are homeless or vulnerable. The trial begins this Pride Month across 10 restaurant sites in London, Brighton, and Bristol.
When a member of the community experiencing homelessness says “I’m a friend of Dorothy'' or even just “Dorothy”, before ordering, it will unlock a free main meal as well as additional resources on how they can receive help.
Five LGBTQ+ owned restaurants including The Athenian, Club Mexicana, Smashing Plates, Tonkotsu, and Bleecker Burger are the first to sign up to the initiative which is being funded by Deliveroo and aims to support the rising numbers of LGBTQ+ homeless people in the UK.
