A club for 13 to 19-year-olds from the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community has opened its doors in Merton.
The club is the first of its kind in the borough, and will be funded by the Big Lottery "Awards for All" initiative.
Held at the Endeavour Youth Club in Morden, it will be open twice a month on a Thursday from 7pm.
It offers a safe space for young people to meet or seek advice and support.
The club put in a bid for a grant of nearly £10,000 at the end of last year. It was awarded at the end of January.
