itsLIA, Charlie Adams & Just Soriah - Naz & Matt Charity Fundraiser

This event has been created to give trans and POC people a space to come together. But is open to all members and allies of the queer community. Many trans and POC are on low income and have no network of support from family or friends.

Ticket prices have been kept low in order to remain affordable, whilst all raising money for our charity.

If you are unable to afford the ticket and would still like to attend then please contact me at email: georgemattu@hotmail.com

Who are Naz and Matt Foundation?

Naz and Matt Foundation was set up in 2014 following the sad loss of Matt’s fiancé, Naz, who took his own life two days after his deeply religious family confronted him about his sexuality. Naz and Matt Foundation exists to empower and support LGBTQI+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, and Intersex) individuals, their friends and family to work towards resolving challenges linked to sexuality or gender identity, particularly where religion is heavily influencing the situation. Our mission is to never let religion, any religion, come in the way of the unconditional love between parents and their children.
