QX Magazine reports that London's LGBTQIA+ community space, the Outside Project, is working with a wide variety of organisations that are building community, not just for LGBTQIA+ people, but anyone being marginalised by the current policies of austerity, division and hatred coming from sections of the newspapers and unscrupulous political figures. The magazine reports "At a time when queer community spaces are hard to find, the Outside Project has had a huge impact. As well as the Museum of Homelessness, they have also hosted African Rainbow Family, Streets Kitchen, Save the Black Cap, Queerseum, Lesbians and Gays Support the Migrants, and Book 28, the queer library. Carla says, “Finding free space to hold a meeting, stash a box of project stuff or test out ideas is the hardest thing. I want the Outside Project to always make space for ‘homeless’ by and for led homelessness and Queer organisations.” Since they founded The Outside Project in 2017, they have been doing just that, as well as providing essential services to LGBTIQ+ homeless people. "
QX Magazine goes on to say that Londoners can enjoy a night of comic cabaret this Sunday (25th February) to raise much needed monies for homelessness services. Matt Turtle, Director of the Museum of Homelessness, said: “The last fourteen years have seen sustained attacks on our communities. However, we can fight back together, as our work with the Outside Project since 2019 shows. We do not stand alone as individuals or organisations: we are united in purpose and hope for a shared future.” So rather than despair at the current situation, we are together in solidarity. But it really helps when others stand alongside us. To that end, we are thrilled to be receiving the magnificent support of the stars at Quantum Leopard, who will, on the 25th of February, be hosting a comedy fundraiser for us.
The place to be is The George Tavern, at 737 Commercial Road in London E1 0LA.
