Coffee and Cake Events

by

The North Northants LGBTQ+ Forum, in association with North, and West, Northamptonshire Councils, The Integrated Care Northants System, and local partners, are holding a series of Coffee and Cake events across the month of February.

We’ll bring the cake, you bring the coffee (or any drink of your choosing). These events are raising money for local LGBTQ+ groups and organisations across Northamptonshire and to share information and support to those who want it.

Even if you can’t come get a delicious slice of cake we welcome any and all donations. We know things are tough lately, it’s the same for our local groups too, so anything you can spare will go toward helping hundreds of people across the county.

If you’d like to join us in hosting one of your own you can find the editable poster, and some resources to consider sharing on the day, at: lgbtforum.co.uk/events/History-Month

Their upcoming Halloween event, TOIL and TROUBLE is hosted at one of London’s queerest cabaret venues, The Royal Vauxhall Tavern.

CEO, Bob Green says:

‘One of my highlights of 2018 was Stonewall Housing’s 35th anniversary celebration at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern, when our friends, families and community helped raise over £4000 for our charity while watching a host of amazing performers that made me laugh and cry. So I can’t wait for this year’s Halloween Party at the same venue for the same cause.’

Fundraising and Initiatives Manager, Cat Haldane says:

‘We’re so thrilled to continue our work with one of our most valued partners, the Royal Vauxhall Tavern. So far they’ve helped us raise an incredible £8,000 that goes directly towards keeping our essential services alive. This time we’re back with an incredible line up of spooky and thrilling acts and can’t wait to show our community and allies what we’ve been up to over the last year. You’ll be in for a trick or treat!’

TOIL AND TROUBLE kicks off on Thursday 24th October at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern. Doors open at 7pm.

Just as the cold chill of autumn sets in, enjoy an evening of deliciously disgusting drag, creepy burlesque and sickening DJ’s to really get you in the spooky mood.
