About

To celebrate bringing Godot is a Woman back to London, we wanted to use our gala night to not only thank all the people who've supported this show, but also as an opportunity to raise money for an amazing charity: The Outside Project, London's LGBTIQ+ Community Shelter, Centre and Domestic Abuse Refuge.

The Outside Project is an LGBTIQ+ Community Shelter, Centre and Domestic Abuse Refuge in response to those within the LGBTIQ+ community who feel endangered, who are homeless, ‘hidden’ homeless and feel that they are on the outside of services due to historical and present prejudice in society and in their homes. Their work includes:

  • Provision of identity responsive housing and spaces for the LGBTIQ+ Community
  • Professional and ‘knowledge by experience’ peer-led support to LGBTIQ+ people in crisis
  • Advocacy for LGBTIQ+ rights and needs within wider systems and services
  • Promoting improved ‘social health’ and sobriety within the LGBTIQ+ Community
  • Developing relationships with services to strengthen support for the LGBTIQ+ Community
  • Sharing our knowledge to educate others on the unique & complex needs of LGBTIQ+ people

A Stonewall study found that one in every five LGBTQIA+ people has or will experience homelessness in their life - rates in the trans community are even higher, with 25% of trans people experiencing homelessness in their lifetime.

Of queer and trans people who find themselves experiencing homelessness, about 65% feel that their sexuality or gender identity – an innate part of themselves – was a contributing factor to their homelessness. These same people also experience higher levels of discrim

The Outside Project

The UK’s first LGBTIQ+ Community Shelter and Centre. A grassroots movement led by LGBTIQ+ ex-homeless, homelessness professionals and 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 and Gay Centre of the 80’s. Over 7000sqft of open, office and residential space, this unique and innovative project is home to our shelter and the support, creative and 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 and those who feel left outside of mainstream and LGBTIQ+ spaces. The centre and shelter has made an immeasurable difference to our guests who will always be loudly and proudly at the centre of this project. We’re grateful for the support from the Mayor of London and our LGBTIQ+ community and allies across the country. We can’t thank you enough for standing beside us.

 Carla Ecola, Founder and Director.
