The UK’s first LGBTIQ+ Community Shelter & Centre. A grassroots
movement led by LGBTIQ+ ex-homeless, homelessness professionals &
activists.
In winter 2017 we opened the UK’s first LGBTIQ+ Shelter. In Spring 2019 we
opened our Community Centre in Central London, just a stones throw
from the Lesbian & Gay Centre of the 80’s. Over 7000sqft of open,
office & residential space, this unique & innovative project is home to our shelter & the support, creative & activist
groups we work alongside.
‘During the 50th anniversary year of the Stonewall Riots it is fitting
to flip the narrative, centring our homeless siblings & those who
feel left outside of mainstream & LGBTIQ+ spaces. The centre and shelter has made an immeasurable difference to our guests who will always be loudly
& proudly at the centre of this project. We’re grateful for the
support from the Mayor of London & our LGBTIQ+ community &
allies across the country. We can’t thank you enough for standing beside
us.’
Carla Ecola, Founder & Director.
