Living Free UK is a registered community interest company founded in 2018 out of the struggles of millions of LGBTIQ+ Africans who are still battling with their sexual orientation and gender identity, especially in countries where it is still illegal to live their truth and, in some cases, lose their lives while trying to find liberty and acceptance. There are 72 countries where homosexuality is still a crime and even in the UK, LGBTIQ+ Africans are either unable to return to their home countries or face immense difficulty with finding a safe space to express themselves freely and openly without fear of discrimination and violence.
