Members of the LGBTQ+ community who are– or who cannot afford food and shelter – can get a free meal by quoting a certain phrase, as part of a new Deliveroo initiative.

Individuals simply need to walk into a participating restaurant and say ‘I’m a friend of Dorothy’, or even just ‘Dorothy’, before ordering.Deliveroo has partnered with LGBTQ+ youth homelessness Albert Kennedy Trust to launch this scheme – which follows data showing 24% of homeless people identify as LGBTQ+ and 77% believe coming out to their parents was the main factor for their homelessness.In terms of the restaurants taking part, 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.

One meal per person can be redeemed per day and the scheme will initially run for up to three months, or until all meals have been redeemed.Pride Month is here, with members of the LGBTQ+ community and their allies celebrating their identities, accomplishments, and reflecting on the struggle for equality throughout June.
