What we’re about
A friendly group connecting LGBTQIA+ people in Thamesmead, South East London and the surrounding area.
Our regular meetups include a community drop-in, monthly coffee brunches and various socials.
We also organise events such as Thamesmead Shantay, our regular LGBTQIA+ drag, comedy and cabaret fundraiser night.
Whether you've lived locally for a long time or you're new to the area, if you're LGBTQIA+ and looking to make new friends and find support in and around Thamesmead, you are welcome here! 🌈

See all- Queer Craft ClubCamouflage Café, London
Join us for our monthly Queer Craft Club! Whether you craft for fun, your wellbeing, as part of a creative business, to incorporate into LGBTQ+ activism and awareness raising, or you'd just like to learn a new skill, come along and knit, crochet, embroider or sew while getting to know other LGBTQIA+ people in your local community!
This is both a social get-together and a communal learning and knowledge sharing activity. Bring your own needlecraft and textile projects to work on, or come and learn new skills from other members of the group.
You're highly encouraged to bring your own yarn, thread and needles if you have any, but knitting needles, crochet hooks and some basic yarns will be available for anyone who'd like to learn! 🧶

Queer Craft Club is hosted at the Camouflage Café, run by adults with learning disabilities. This is an initiative of the Brighter Futures Foundation, which aims to support adults with learning disabilities to become more independent, gain valuable work experience, and to make connections in their local community.
