Yasmin Finney, Dani St James, Reed Amber and a number of other LGBTQ+ trailblazers are uniting to support Queer Health 2026.
The fund-raising night, at London’s Battersea Arts Centre on 2 July, the Thursday before London Pride, is dedicated to improving the health and healthcare experiences of LGBTQIA+ people. Money raised on the night will go to Not A Phase and LGBT Foundation.
While more names are yet to be announced, those confirmed to be taking part so far are Heartstopper actress Yasmin Finney, Not A Phase CEO Dani St James, National Advisor for LGBT+ Health Dr Michael Brady, LGBT Foundation CEO Dr Paul Martin, Baroness Elizabeth Barker MP, sexual health influencer Reed Amber, LGBT Mummies founder Laura-Rose Thorogood and Transparent Change CIC founder Jacob Stokoe.
They will take part in discussions which will look at four themes: “The Beauty of Transition”, “Sexual Health, Uncensored”, “Foundations of Family”, and “Mental Resilience & Longevity”.
Queer Health 2026 comes as attitudes towards LGBTQ+ people around the world are sadly worsening.
In the UK, more than a quarter of LGBTQ+ people have had a negative healthcare experience, while the number rises to more than half of trans folk.
And with 22% of Gen Z identifying as LGBTQ+, the need for change has never been greater.
