Sunday Assembly Pride Special: The Outside Project - Creating an LGBTIQ+ Safe Ha

Many LGBTIQ+ people move to London to live as themselves and find connection among a larger population – only to struggle without stable work, housing and social networks. One special organisation has led the way in helping them since 2017.

The Outside Project @lgbtiqoutside was founded as the UK's first shelter, centre and domestic abuse refuge for the LGBTIQ+ community. This London Pride weekend, we're honoured to welcome The Outside Project's co-founder and director Carla Ecola @carlaecola

Find out how they support LGBTIQ+ people in London without a home or a place to feel safe – driven by the Carla and the team's own personal experiences – and hear about the challenges they're facing today.

We are also thrilled to have some spoken word from @hannieayter , who delights in writing about queer transformations and flatulent saints. Their work has been found in The Big Issue, Rialto, MAGMA, TimeOut, and on Radio3.

Sunday Assembly London is your regular and reliable stop for a welcoming, accessible and inspiring Sunday community, where you can hear talks and poetry, sing songs and make new friends.
