City for LGBT+

by

We are proud to announce that City for LGBT+ is back – and it’s virtual!

GiveOut and Consortium are joining forces with The Funding Network for the second edition of City for LGBT+, the UK’s only live crowdfunding event in support of LGBT+ causes. This event is kindly supported by Macquarie Group.

Join us for an exciting evening of live crowdfunding, where you’ll have the opportunity to make a difference to the lives of LGBT+ individuals and communities in the UK and around the world.

Last year’s event raised over £25,000 for four inspiring non-profits. This year, BlackOut UK, Opening Doors London, UHAI Eashri and L’Union Féministe Libre will tell us about their vital work fighting discrimination and injustice.  Each speaker will have just five minutes to pitch and five minutes for questions, followed by an exciting live crowdfunding session where you’ll have the chance to support these fantastic causes. The event will begin with a short talk from actor, activist, MEP, co-founder of Stonewall and member of the House of Lords, Michael Cashman.

Attendance is free and, while there is no obligation to make a donation, we hope you’ll feel inspired to do so.

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.
